STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1107

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2013

 

RE:   S.B. No. 1015

      S.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred S.B. No. 1015, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PRODUCTION OF RECORDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to clarify the reciprocity provision under existing law that requires compliance with the service of process issued by or in another state upon a Hawaii recipient.  Specifically, this measure clarifies that a Hawaii person or business, excluding a government agency, shall comply with service of process for production of records in a criminal investigation or proceeding if the person or business being served has conducted business or engaged in transactions occurring at least in part in the issuing state.

 

     The Department of the Attorney General, Honolulu Police Department, and Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu supported this measure.

 

     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 S.B. No. 1015, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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