RE: S.B. No. 2155
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2155 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO JUDICIARY FEES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to authorize the Judiciary to pay for and collect convenience fees for electronic payment service fees of no more than fifteen cents per credit or debit card or electronic payment transaction.
The Judiciary submitted testimony in support of this measure. Written testimony presented to your Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the Judiciary to recover the costs of services currently provided to the public that allow electronic payments of fines, fees, and court costs. Your Committee understands that the total number of affected transactions is approximately 3,300 to 4,000 transactions per month.
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. 2155 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
