Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 210, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE DATA SHARING,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to establish a criminal justice data sharing working group to make recommendations for a statewide criminal justice data repository to:

(1) Facilitate collaborative decision-making, coordinated planning, and cooperative implementation among criminal justice agencies and relevant partners;

(2) Support the fair, efficient, and effective operation of the criminal justice system;

(3) Promote interoperability through the use of common elements;

(4) Allow agencies to securely and efficiently share appropriate information; and

(5) Support criminal justice and other purposes, including improved public safety and homeland security, while respecting the privacy of citizens.

Your Committee on Conference finds that the State lacks a common repository for tracking data related to the criminal justice system. Your Committee on Conference further finds that all state and county criminal justice agencies plan, design, procure, implement, and operate their own separate information systems. As such, data sharing frequently consists of one-off solutions and often requires grants and outside contractors. The working group established by this measure will improve the timely sharing of information between police, prosecutors, attorneys, and the courts.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by making it effective upon its approval.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 210, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 210, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
