, 2003

RE: H.B. No. 1260

H.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1260 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to effectuate its title.

H.B. No. 1260 was introduced as a short-form bill, which is sometimes referred to as a "vehicle" bill primarily used to introduce a bill containing only a general idea as to the purpose of the bill without specific details in the long form.

Your Committee has amended the bill to provide the substantive contents of the bill in long form so that a public hearing may be properly held on its substantive contents.

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 action to report out H.B. No. 1260 as amended herein, and recommends that it be recommitted to the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs, for the purpose of holding a public hearing thereon, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1260, H.D. 1.

 

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs,
