     Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2848 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to reduce recidivism, prevent crime, and ensure long-term positive change by developing a plan to create a wellness center that reestablishes highly-recognized native Hawaiian cultural practices to restore the overall well-being of individuals, families, and the native Hawaiian community.

 

     The Representative from the 4^th Representative District, Community Alliance on Prisons, Ohana Hoopakele, and three individuals testified in support of this measure.  The Department of Public Safety testified in support of the intent of this measure.  The Department of Land and Natural Resources and Office of Hawaiian Affairs commented on this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

(1)  Allowing the Department of Public Safety to consider site options on all islands in determining a viable and ideal location for the wellness center;

 

(2)  Requiring the Department of Public Safety to seek the input of the Department of Human Services, Department of Health, Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, and Office of Hawaiian Affairs in its planning and in determining a site for the wellness center; and

 

(3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2848, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2848, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Hawaiian Affairs.

 

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