H.D. 1
C.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
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. 2347, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CRIME,"
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 the offense of habitual violent crime.
Your Committee on Conference finds that most violent crimes are committed by a small number of repeat offenders. Despite this, many repeat offenders face minimal consequences for their repeated acts of violence. This measure will deter violent crime in local communities while ensuring that repeat offenders are held accountable for their acts of violence.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Including a sunset date of June 30, 2027;
(2) Making it effective upon its approval; and
(3) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
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. 2347, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2347, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
