STAND. COM. REP. NO.  151-10

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2010

 

RE:   H.B. No. 335

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.B. No. 335 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AN AUTOMATED VICTIM NOTIFICATION SYSTEM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to establish a statewide-automated victim information and notification system to notify victims regarding custody, court appearances, and parole hearings of the offender in the victim's case.

 

     The Maui County Police Department, Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women, Sex Abuse Treatment Center, Hawaii State Coalition Against Domestic Violence, and VOICES testified in support of this bill.  The Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu supported this measure with amendments.  The Domestic Violence Action Center supported the intent of this bill.  The Department of Public Safety (DPS) commented on this measure.

 

     Your Committee notes that DPS will do a presentation on the notification system on a date to be announced.  If probation information is required as part of the notification system, only the Judiciary has that information, and would need to input it into the system.

 

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2010; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 335, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 335, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety,
