Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2020

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1174, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAII CRIMINAL JUSTICE DATA CENTER FEES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center to assess reasonable and necessary fees for most services provided by the center.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of the Attorney General.

Your Committee finds that this measure will give the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center the flexibility to adjust the fees charged for its services in response to demand, type of service provided, and the costs of providing those services.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Inserting language to clarify that the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center shall collect the fees assessed; and

(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1174, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1174, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
