Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.B. No. 2266 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CORRECTIONS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to help ensure the safety of incarcerated individuals by requiring the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to actively address sexual assault in prison and report on their efforts and relevant data to the Legislature.

 

     The American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii, Community Alliance on Prisons, The Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii, Planned Parenthood of Hawaii, and a concerned individual testified in support of this bill.  DPS supported the intent of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2266 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

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