Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 620, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTERSTATE COMPACT FOR THE SUPERVISION OF ADULT OFFENDERS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to improve the administration of the State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision (Council) by, among other things:

(1) Establishing the duties and responsibilities of the Council's compact administrator;

(2) Limiting the terms of members of the Council to four years, with the exception of the Director of Public Safety or the Director's designee;

(3) Prohibiting persons from being appointed to the Council for more than two consecutive terms; and

(4) Clarifying that the Council shall have the authority to

appoint a deputy compact administrator for parole from the Hawaii Paroling Authority and a deputy compact administrator for probation from the Judiciary to cast a vote on behalf of the State at meetings of the Interstate Commission for Adult Offender Supervision in which the compact administrator is absent.

The Hawaii Paroling Authority and the Judiciary supported this bill.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 620, S.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
