                            RE:   H.B. No. 602
                                  S.D. 1
                                  C.D. 1




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate
in H.B. No. 602, S.D. 1, entitled:

    "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF A TRAILER,"

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 bill is to extend the time period in
which to record the transfer of ownership of trailers, and to
increase the penalties for delinquencies in recording transfers. 

     Your Committee on Conference finds owners are required to
record the transfers of trailers within twenty days, and that
delinquent transferees are subject to nominal fees of five
dollars.  Your Committee further finds that delinquency rates for
recording transfers of trailers are high, and would be reduced if
penalties were increased.

     This bill proposes that owners be required to record the
transfer of trailers within thirty days, and that delinquent
transferees be subject to assessments of fees of fifty dollars. 

     Your Conferees deliberated on the amounts of the assessments
for delinquencies, and agreed that an increase to fifty dollars
would be a suitable deterrent to such occurrences.

     Your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent
and purpose of H.B. No. 602, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto
as H.B. No. 602, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted,
