RE:   S.C.R. No. 191

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 191, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAII PAROLING AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH A HOPE PAROLE PILOT PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Hawaii Paroling Authority (HPA) to establish a two-year pilot project similar to the Judiciary's probation modification project, Hawaii's Opportunity Probation with Enforcement or HOPE.

 

     The Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii, Community Alliance on Prisons, Hawaii Substance Abuse Coalition, and several concerned individuals testified in support of this concurrent resolution.  HPA and the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu opposed this measure.  The Judiciary provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 191, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety,
