Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.B. No. 2060, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ACCUSED TO TRANSPORT WITNESS OR WITNESSES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the family courts, under certain conditions, to require the accused in a criminal matter to transport to any court proceeding, any material witness if the witness is a minor, elderly person, or incapacitated person who resides with or is under the custody of the accused.

 

     The Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu testified in support of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2060, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
