STAND. COM. REP. NO. 727
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 101
S.D. 1
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 101, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD CHECKS BY COUNTIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to allow the county agencies responsible for taxicab regulation to conduct criminal history records checks on taxicab drivers and applicants for taxicab driver's certificates.
Your Committee finds that taxicab drivers interact on a personal basis with each customer. Your Committee is concerned that such interaction may pose a risk to the public if the taxicab driver has a criminal record, such as a conviction for a crime involving physical or sexual assault. This measure addresses the problem by allowing the county agency responsible for taxicab regulation to access the criminal history of taxicab drivers and applicants for taxicabs driver certificates.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 101, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
