Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2255 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TIME LIMITATIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to add crimes, which include deception as an element, to those crimes for which the date of discovery is used to calculate the time limitations within which the crime must be charged.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Attorney General and the Honolulu Police Department.

Your Committee finds that a definition of "deception" is necessary for this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure to insert a reference to the definition of "deception" in section 708-800, Hawaii Revised Statutes, and make technical changes.

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. 2255, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2255, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

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