STAND. COM. REP. 2613

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.B. No. 1271

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1271 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE DEFINITION OF SEXUAL CONDUCT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to repeal one of two duplicate definitions of "sexual conduct" in the law on obscenity.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Attorney General.

The definition being repealed was inadvertently inserted by Act 240, Session Laws of Hawaii 2002. Your Committee finds that retaining only the second definition will be sufficient to carry out the purpose of the law.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1271 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,

____________________________
