Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2011
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 231, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC HOUSING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve the safety of those living in public housing by:
(1) Requiring that visitors on the premises of a public housing project obtain a visitor's pass from the manager of the public housing project or manager's designee; provided that a visitor's pass shall only be issued to a person who has been invited onto the premises by an adult tenant of the public housing project;
(2) Requiring the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to implement rules for issuing visitor's passes;
(3) Including those who remain unlawfully in or upon the premises of public housing after reasonable warning or request to leave by housing management or police as an act of criminal trespass in the first degree; and
(4) Establishing a pilot project for increased safety and security at Mayor Wright Homes.
Several concerned individuals supported this bill. The American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii opposed this bill. The Hawaii Public Housing Authority provided comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 231, H.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
