Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2250, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PAROLE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to encourage the Hawaii Paroling Authority to work with offenders in the community by authorizing the Hawaii Paroling Authority to use a continuum of administrative sanctions in lieu of revocation of parole when a parolee violates a term or condition of parole.

 

     The Community Alliance on Prisons, Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii, Hawaii Substance Abuse Coalition, and a concerned individual testified in support of this measure.  The Department of Public Safety and Hawaii Paroling Authority provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2250, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs,
