Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 45, H.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVER
     LICENSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to make it a violation to
operate a motor vehicle with an expired license within thirty
days after the date of the expiration of the license.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Judiciary.  The Department of the Prosecuting Attorney of the
City and County of Honolulu submitted comments with a suggested
amendment.

     Your Committee finds that this measure will provide
deterrence against and penalties for operating a motor vehicle
with an expired license.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

     (1)  Making the effective date of this Act July 1, 1999,
          rather than upon approval; and

     (2)  Clarifying that operating a motor vehicle with an
          expired license constitutes a violation which is
          subject to a fine of not more than $1,000.

intent and purpose of H.B. No. 45, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
hereto as H.B. No. 45, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and be referred to the
