State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2833, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRISONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve the correctional process by encouraging a programs approach to inmate case management and developing more work opportunities for inmates to benefit the community. Specifically, this measure directs the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to adopt policies regarding greater program participation by inmates.
The Community Alliance on Prisons supported this bill. The DPS supported the intent of this measure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Providing authorization for the DPS to plan for the construction of minimum-security housing in Kalaeloa;
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020; and
(3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
Your Committee notes that the planning and construction of a minimum security housing project will require public notification and input.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2833, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2833, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
