COM. REP. NO. 1758
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2019
RE: H.C.R. No. 73
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2019
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Public Safety, Veterans, & Military Affairs and Legislative Management, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 73 entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A MANAGEMENT AUDIT OF THE CORRECTIONS DIVISION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY,"
beg leave to report as follows:
DPS supported this measure. The Office of the Auditor offered comments on this measure.
Your Committees note that DPS shared data on correctional
facility staffing and submitted copies of an audit that reviewed the formula
for security staffing at DPS pursuant to Act 300, Session Laws of Hawaii 1992,
and a review of security staffing needs at the Oahu Community Correctional
Center pursuant to Act 287, Session Laws of Hawaii 1996. Furthermore, the Office of the Auditor notes that it collected data on
correctional facility staffing in 2015 for the purpose of an audit which was
not completed because of a changeover in Auditor leadership.
Should the Committee
on Finance deliberate this measure further, your Committees on Public Safety,
Veterans, & Military Affairs and Legislative Management respectfully
suggest that the data on correctional facility staffing collected by the
Auditor in 2015 be used in conjunction with the proposed audit.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety, Veterans, & Military Affairs and Legislative Management that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 73 and recommend that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety, Veterans, & Military Affairs and Legislative Management,
