                                   RE:  S.B. No. 663
                                        S.D. 1




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 S.B. No. 663 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to extend the time period in
which a new motor vehicle with a temporary number plate must be
registered from 20 days to 30 days.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Department of Customer Services of the City and County of
Honolulu.

     Your Committee finds that the registration time period under
section 286-54, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for an out-of-state
motor vehicle is 30 days.  This measure provides for consistency
with respect to the time periods allotted for registering new and
out-of-state motor vehicles.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical,
nonsubstantive changes.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 663, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached

Third Reading.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Transportation
                                   and Intergovernmental Affairs,
