begs leave to report as follows:

Your Committee reviewed the personal history, resume, and statement submitted by Dennis Dunn for service on the State Council for the Interstate Compact for Adults.

Your Committee did not receive any testimony on this measure.

Your Committee finds that Mr. Dunn's experience, knowledge, and proven leadership qualify him for appointment and reappointment to the State Council for the Interstate Compact for Adults. Your Committee notes that Mr. Dunn currently works as the Director of the Victim Witness Assistance Division of the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu. Mr. Dunn has spent forty-three years working for the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu helping the victims of various types of crimes. Mr. Dunn previously served as a member of the Hawaii Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Hawaii State Commission on National and Community Service, Missing Child Center Hawaii Advisory Board, and Sex Abuse Treatment Center Advisory Board. Your Committee therefore recommends that Dennis Dunn be appointed and reappointed to the State Council for the Interstate Compact for Adults based on his experience, knowledge, and commitment to public service.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee, after full consideration of the background, experience, and qualifications of the nominee, has found the nominee to be qualified for the position to which nominated and recommends that the Senate advise and consent to the nomination.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental, and Military Affairs,
