STAND. COM. REP. NO.  553

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2011

 

RE:   H.B. No. 876

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 876 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to help manage the continued growth of Hawaii's inmate population by requiring the Department of Accounting and General Services and Department of Public Safety (PSD) to plan and design the construction and operation of a new minimum-security facility similar to the facilities of the Honolulu Federal Detention Center and authorizing the issuance of an unspecified amount in general obligation bonds to do so.

 

     PSD supported the intent of this bill.  A concerned individual opposed this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion.

 

     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. 876, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 876, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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