Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 1885 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTRONIC MONITORING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to continue to protect individuals under protective orders by extending the sunset date of the electronic monitoring program from July 1, 2010, to July 1, 2011.  This measure also requires the Judiciary to submit a report to the Legislature on its concerns and recommendations for improving the global positioning satellite tracking system.

 

     The Domestic Violence Action Center, Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and a concerned individual supported this bill.  The City and County of Honolulu Department of the Prosecuting Attorney supported this measure with amendments.  The Judiciary did not support this bill.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by extending the sunset date to July 1, 2012.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1885, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1885, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
