Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 112 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to effectuate its title.

Your Committee finds that H.B. No. 112 was introduced as a short-form bill, which is sometimes referred to as a "vehicle" bill, primarily used to introduce a bill containing only a general idea as to the purpose of the bill, without specific details in the long form.

Your Committee has amended this bill to provide the substantive contents of the bill in long form so that a public hearing may be properly held on those contents.

As amended, the purpose of this bill is to authorize the issuance of general obligation bonds and appropriate funds to renovate the old Greyhound facility near the Honolulu airport in order to relocate and consolidate the operations of the sheriff division of the Department of Public Safety. Furthermore, this bill requires the Governor to transfer jurisdiction over the land at the facility from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Public Safety.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 112, as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to the Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, for the purpose of holding a public hearing thereon, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 112, H.D. 1.
