STAND. COM. REP. NO. 479

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1177

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1177 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to replace the Reentry Coordinator with the Director of Public Safety as an ex officio nonvoting member of the Reentry Commission.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Public Safety.

 

     Your Committee finds that the 2012 amendments to Act 24, Special Session Laws of Hawaii 2009, revised the membership of the Reentry Commission and included as an ex officio nonvoting member the "Reentry Coordinator."  This identified position is temporary and is not endowed with the authority to make commitments for the Department of Public Safety; the Director of Public Safety is the ultimate authority for the Department.  Therefore, your Committee finds that the Director of Public Safety is in the best position to represent the Department and to make commitments more efficiently, moving the Reentry Commission's work forward.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1177 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

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