RE:   S.B. No. 2909

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2909 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ENHANCED 911 SERVICES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to focus funding and resources on the State and county public safety answering points that provide emergency services by limiting the scope of the definition of a "public safety agency", for purposes of the enhanced 911 services law, to divisions of the State or county that have the authority to provide firefighting, law enforcement, ambulance, medical, or other emergency services and private entities contracted by a state or county agency to provide these same services.

 

     The Enhanced 911 Board of the State of Hawaii, Department of Accounting and General Services, State Fire Council, Honolulu Fire Department, Fire Department of the County of Hawaii, Police Department of the County of Hawaii, Kauai Fire Department, and Department of Fire & Public Safety of the County of Maui testified in support of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2909 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 & Military Affairs,
