RE: S.B. No. 225
S.D. 1
Honorable Donna Mercado Kim
President of the Senate
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Labor, to which was referred S.B. No. 225 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ELECTIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend section 11-13, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to add a definition of "residency" to rules for determining residency for election purposes.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the League of Women Voters of Hawaii and two individuals. Your Committee received comments on this measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that this measure provides greater clarity as to when a person is a permanent or temporary resident for purposes of establishing residency for election purposes.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Adding language to clarify that a person shall not be considered a resident of this State for election purposes if the person declares residency in another state; and
(2) Inserting an effective date of July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Labor that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 225, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 225, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor,
