Dear Chair San Buenaventura, and Chair Mizuno:
RE: HB 1842, Relating to Fitness to Proceed
I understand that HB 1842, dealing with fitness to proceed, was heard on
Wednesday and deferred. I also understand that the testimony on this bill was mixed,
but that the majority of the testimony was supportive.
I regret that I was not able to submit my own testimony, which would have been
in strong support. I think this is an important measure, and hope deferral in this case
was to allow time to agree on appropriate amendments and to schedule decision-
making on an HD1. If I can be of any assistance in that regard, I ask you to simply let
me know.
Thank you for your good work.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harry Krim"
