RE:   H.B. No. 946

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.B. No. 946 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE REENTRY COMMISSION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to improve the efficiency of the Reentry Commission and ensure commitments made on behalf of the Department of Public Safety are carried through by replacing the Reentry Coordinator with the Director of Public Safety as an ex officio nonvoting member of the Reentry Commission.  The Commission works with the Department of Public Safety in monitoring and reviewing the Comprehensive Offender Reentry Program.

 

     The Department of Public Safety supported this measure.

 

     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. 946 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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