Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred H.B. No. 1292 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR A STATE QUALIFYING SHOOTING RANGE AT KULANI CORRECTIONAL FACILITY IN EAST HAWAII ON THE ISLAND OF HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to ensure law enforcement officers have the facilities necessary to achieve proper certification in firearms usage and training by appropriating funds for the plans, design, and construction of a state-qualified shooting range at Kulani Correctional Facility on the Island of Hawaii.

 

     Several concerned individuals supported the intent of this bill.  A concerned individual opposed this measure.  The Department of Public Safety and Hawaii Rifle Association submitted comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1292 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety,
