RELATING TO THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH COURT.

The bill was renumbered from H.D. 2 to H.D. 3, indicating it passed through a different legislative process or committee.

Added detailed definitions for 'prosecuting attorney' to include deputy prosecutors, the attorney general, and deputy attorney general, and expanded 'public defender' to include court-appointed private attorneys.

Established formal requirements for the court process including mandatory social service outreach, creation of potential participant lists, and structured plea agreement negotiations.

Added new funding sections (Sections 4-9) to appropriate money for permanent positions including court clerks, bailiffs, social workers, deputy sheriffs, and legal staff across multiple agencies.

Added provisions for intergovernmental agreements and memorandums of understanding to facilitate collaboration between agencies administering the court.

Changed the court's status from a pilot project to a permanent division with concurrent jurisdiction over nonviolent nonfelony criminal and traffic offenses.

Added a sunset provision in Section 11 stating the Act takes effect on July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder date rather than an intentional long-term provision.

Expanded the definition of 'Prosecuting attorney' to include deputy prosecuting attorneys, the attorney general, and deputy attorney general, broadening the range of officials who can participate in the program.

Added specific funding line items for security services, facility costs (including Waianae public library), equipment (laptops, mobile hotspots), transportation (van and parking), and miscellaneous office supplies.

Created new appropriations for permanent positions including court clerks, a court bailiff, adult client services branch judicial clerk, social workers, deputy sheriff positions, deputy attorney general, deputy public defender, paralegal, and legal assistant.

Repealed Act 55 of 2017, which previously established the Community Outreach Court, to replace it with this updated version.

Set the effective date to July 1, 3000, which appears to be a placeholder or error and likely needs correction to a realistic future date.

Expands jurisdiction to include all non-violent, non-felony criminal and traffic offenses across the entire first judicial circuit, not just Honolulu.

Requires the public defender to engage social service or health care professionals to identify and assist eligible defendants.
