STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1066

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 1087

       H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1087, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to delete the language naming the President of the Hawaii Criminal Justice Association as a member of the panel that nominates the members to the Hawaii Paroling Authority.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Public Safety and Hawaii Paroling Authority.

 

     Your Committee finds that the Hawaii Criminal Justice Association has not been a functional organization for several years and is accordingly unable to properly function as part of the nominating panel for members of the Hawaii Paroling Authority.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1087, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Government Operations, and Military Affairs,
