STAND. COM. REP. NO. 593

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2021

RE: H.B. No. 894

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. 894 entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to provide authority for the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center and state and county criminal justice agencies to set and collect fees for services provided.

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

Your Committee finds that eliminating the finite list of services for which the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center is allowed to charge fees will enable the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center to include fees for all of its services within a fee schedule established by administrative rules. This measure will thereby help to sustain the operations of the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center.

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. 894 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
