Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Sir:

     Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to
which was referred H.B. No. 1297 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
     PERTAINING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for
various capital improvement projects at:

     (2)  Oahu Community Correctional Center;

     (3)  Kulani Correctional Facility; and

     (4)  Maui Community Correctional Center (MCCC).

     The Department of Public Safety testified in support of this
measure, with suggested technical amendments.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee has amended this
measure by:

     (1)  Deleting specific reference to a fourteen-camera video
          system, including installation of a video system in

          construction for the Halawa medium security facility;

     (2)  Including satellite adjuncts for proposed renovation
          and expansion at MCCC, allowing the Department of
          Public Safety to use funds designated for MCCC
          improvements to match available federal funds, and
          appropriating $150,000 for plans, design, and
          construction at MCC; and

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for
          purposes of style, clarity, and consistency.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs that is attached
to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of H.B. No. 1297, as amended herein, and recommends that
it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No.
1297, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
