STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1690-16
Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 2916
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2016
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2916, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee notes that concerns have been raised that the Justice Reinvestment Initiative, as reflected in Act 139, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, and in other legislation, is not moving forward as fast as was hoped and expected. Nonetheless, this present measure addresses weapons violations that your Committee believes should be considered separately from Justice Reinvestment issues, and your Committee believes that it should be adopted as proposed.
Your Committee looks forward to reports from the Department of Public Safety, Department of the Attorney General, and other relevant agencies showing progress in Justice Reinvestment in the future.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2916, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
