Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, to which was referred S.B. No. 71, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to support organizations that provide rehabilitative and re-entry programs and services to incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals.  Specifically, this measure appropriates funds to the Department of Public Safety to contract with community-based non-profit organizations to provide education, mentoring, restorative circles, farming, artisan skills, cognitive behavioral therapy, and cultural healing services to inmates and former inmates who are under the custody and control of the Department of Public Safety or the Hawaii Paroling Authority.

 

     The Community Alliance on Prisons and numerous individuals supported this measure.  The Department of Public Safety offered comments on this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     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. 71, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 71, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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