STAND. COM. REP. NO. 709

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1315

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1315, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONSERVATION AND RESOURCES ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to transfer the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement from the Department of Land and Natural Resources to the Department of Public Safety.

 

Your Committee received two written comments on this measure.  The written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature’s website.

 

Your Committee finds that transferring the duties of the Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement from the Department of Land and Natural Resources to the Department of Public Safety consolidates various law enforcement functions within the Department of Public Safety.  Your Committee believes that this consolidation will contribute to economic savings for the State and more effective enforcement of Hawaii's natural resources laws and conservation programs.

 

Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1315, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1315, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
