Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 3016, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNSERVED ARREST WARRANTS,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to help reduce the State's backlog of outstanding warrants by:
(1) Requiring due diligence in serving any outstanding traffic warrants on a defendant;
(2) Requiring the Hawaii Paroling Authority, in the event of suspension or revocation of parole, to inform the court of all outstanding traffic warrants issued against the parolee; and
(3) Requiring the Judicial Council to conduct a comprehensive review of the backlog of arrest warrants and report to the Legislature prior to the Regular Session of 2007.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Rephrasing the new statutory provisions in more general terms to reflect the fact that the service of warrants is a collaborative effort; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 3016, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 3016, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
