RE:    H.B. No. 302

       H.D. 1

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 302, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PROBATION SERVICES SPECIAL FUND,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to:

 

     (1)  Require interstate transfer fees paid by a parolee or probationer to be deposited into the probation services fund rather than the general fund; and

 

     (2)  Specify that the moneys in the probation services special fund be used by the Judiciary to:

 

          (A)  Monitor and enforce the compliance of probation terms and other supervision; and

 

          (B)  Support other duties and activities related to the supervision of defendants.

 

     Written comments in support of this measure were submitted by the State Judiciary.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure provides a source of funding for probation services and clarifies the purposes of the probation services special fund.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by clarifying that the moneys in the probation services special fund, in addition to other purposes, shall be used for the monitoring, enforcement, and compliance with terms of probation and other supervision programs for defendants.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 302, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 302, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
