agencies to develop policies that would facilitate reporting of the

Islanders, and develop and implement culturally appropriate services
and reintegration of formerly incarcerated Asian Americans and Native
Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders juveniles and adults into
their communities to reduce parole violations.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
