Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:   H.C.R. No. 187

 

 

 

 

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.C.R. No. 187 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAII PAROLING AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH A HOPE PAROLE PILOT PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to reduce recidivism by requesting the Hawaii Paroling Authority (HPA) to establish a two-year pilot project similar to the Judiciary's probation modification project, Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement, or HOPE, to be called the Hope Parole Pilot program.

 

     Community Alliance on Prisons, The Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii, and a concerned individual testified in support of this concurrent resolution.  HPA opposed this measure.  The Judiciary provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 187 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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