                                 RE: S.B. No. 2465
                                     S.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred S.B. No. 2465, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PORNOGRAPHY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to amend the promoting
pornography for minors exemption for public library staff by
narrowing the exemption to a person acting within the scope of
their employment.
     
     The Hawaii State Public Library System, the Honolulu Police
Department, and the Hawaii Catholic Conference testified in
support of the measure.

     Your Committee finds that there is no justification in
continuing to provide a public library exemption beyond incidents
where the person is acting within the scope of their employment.

     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. 2465, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass
Third Reading.
