Sirs:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2486, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PENAL CODE,"

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 measure is to include threats to cause harm to the property of another person under the offense of terroristic threatening.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that the original intent of this measure was to include pets and livestock as property that, if threatened to be damaged or harmed, may constitute the offense of terroristic threatening.

     Accordingly, your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by inserting in section 707-715, Hawaii Revised Statutes, specific references to pets and livestock as property of another.

     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. 2486, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2486, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
