Madam and Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2083, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE SUPERVISION OF ADULT OFFENDERS,"

 

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 permit the Judiciary to assess a fee to a parolee or probationer that applies for a transfer out of Hawaii and to increase the membership of the State Council for Interstate Adult Offender Supervision.  This bill also appropriates funds for one full-time coordinator position to carry out the duties of the Interstate Compact for the supervision of adult offenders.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Adding the requirement that the one full-time coordinator position for the supervision of adult offenders be appointed by the Judiciary;

 

     (2)  Deleting the appropriation from the General Fund for one full-time coordinator position to help carry out the duties of the Interstate Compact for the supervision of adult offenders;

 

     (3)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2008; and

 

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of clarity.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2083, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2083, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
