STAND. COM. REP. NO. 828

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2023

RE: H.B. No. 100

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 100 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE DATA SHARING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to establish the Criminal Justice Data Sharing Working Group to make recommendations for a statewide repository to facilitate sharing of criminal justice data among state and county agencies.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Public Safety, Hawaii Correctional System Oversight Commission, Office of the Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu, and one individual. Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of the Attorney General, Criminal Justice Research Institute, Legislative Reference Bureau, and The Civil Beat Law Center for the Public Interest.

Your Committee finds that all state and county criminal justice agencies plan, design, procure, implement, and operate their own separate information systems. Because there is no common repository used by the state and county criminal justice agencies for tracking data between each separate information system, data sharing is difficult and is often solved through one-off solutions. This measure would establish a working group to make recommendations on a statewide criminal justice data repository to increase efficiency, support criminal justice, and improve operations.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to June 30, 3000, 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. 100, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 100, 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,
