COM. REP. NO. 767
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.B. No. 1237
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1237 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE JUDICIARY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that temporary restraining orders, protective orders, and injunctions against harassment for a minor typically expire when the minor reaches the age of eighteen. This measure eliminates the automatic termination of the order or injunction and permits the extension of the order's or injunction's effective period, thereby ensuring the protection of individuals in the State.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 3021, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1237, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1237, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
