STAND. COM. REP. NO. 214

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                   

 

RE:     S.B. No. 1174

        S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 1174 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAII CRIMINAL JUSTICE DATA CENTER FEES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to provide authority for the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center to set and collect fees for services provided.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of the Attorney General and Department of Public Safety.

 

     Your Committee finds that the services provided by the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center are valuable to law enforcement and correctional officers.  Your Committee further finds that the enumerated services for which the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center can currently assess fees do not include all services offered by the Center.  This measure gives the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center greater flexibility in matching its fee structure to the services that it offers.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying that fees assessed by the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center must be reasonable and necessary; and

 

     (2)  Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1174, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1174, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
