Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1743 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to eliminate the requirement that the county police and departments and the state sheriffs report annually to the Legislature on the usage of electric guns in their custody and control.

A private citizen testified against this measure.

Due to the limited number of electric guns under the custody and control of law enforcement agencies in the State, your Committee finds that the annual reporting requirement to the Legislature is no longer needed.

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. 1743 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committees on Judiciary and Legislative Management.
