STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1281
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2005
RE: S.B. No. 681
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 681 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEFINITION OF SEXUAL CONDUCT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) by removing a superfluous definition of "sexual conduct" from section 712-1210, HRS.
The Department of the Attorney General testified in support of this bill.
Your Committee finds that Act 240, Session laws of Hawaii 2002, added a definition of "sexual conduct" to section 712-1210, HRS, which already provided a sufficient definition of that term. This measure would repeal the superfluous definition added by Act 240.
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. 681 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
____________________________ SYLVIA LUKE, Chair |
