Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Public Safety & Military Affairs and Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 2265 entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to transfer continuing supervisory and counseling functions of paroled individuals from the Hawaii Paroling Authority to the Department of Public Safety.

The state Department of Public Safety testified in support of the bill with amendments. The Hawaii Paroling Authority did not support the bill.

Your Committees find that the benefits in comparison to the costs, and potential for increased efficiency proposed by this measure warrant further examination.

Your Committees have amended this measure by clarifying the rationale for the transfer.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety & Military Affairs and Labor & Public Employment that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2265, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2265, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
