RE:   S.B. No. 2261

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committees on Public Safety & Military Affairs and Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred S.B. No. 2261 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE WEED AND SEED PROGRAM,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to help reduce violent crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in Hawaii's neighborhoods and encourage community revitalization across the State by permanently establishing the Weed and Seed Program within the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and appropriating an unspecified amount of general revenues to both maintain current Weed and Seed Programs and expand the Program into other areas of the State.  

 

     The Department of Public Safety, Honolulu Police Department, and many concerned individuals supported this measure.  The Department of Human Services, Department of Labor and Industrial Relations, and Office of Community Services provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Public Safety & Military Affairs and Labor & Public Employment that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2261 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Public Safety & Military Affairs and Labor & Public Employment,
