                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE REVOCATION OF DRIVER'S LICENSES.



BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that section 5 of the
 
 2 federal TEA-21 Restoration Act establishes a new program under
 
 3 Section 164 of Chapter 1, Title 23 U.S.C., encouraging states to
 
 4 enact repeat intoxicated driver laws.  States which do not have a
 
 5 repeat intoxicated driver law by October 1, 2000 will transfer
 
 6 1.5 per cent of federal aid highway funds to the State's Section
 
 7 402 state and community highway safety funds for the first two
 
 8 years.  If this measure is not enacted by September 30, 2001,
 
 9 three per cent of the State's federal aid highway funds will be
 
10 transferred until the State enacts this legislation.
 
11      The legislature further finds that each state is required to
 
12 have in effect a repeat intoxicated driver law which provides, as
 
13 a minimum penalty, that if a person has been convicted of a
 
14 previous driving under the influence violation:
 
15      (1)  A driver's license suspension for not less than one
 
16           year;
 
17      (2)  Vehicle impoundment, immobilization of each of the
 
18           individual's motor vehicles, or the installation of an
 
19           ignition interlock system on each of the motor

                                     S.B. NO.           2318
                                                        
                                                        

 
 1           vehicles;
 
 2      (3)  An assessment of the individual's degree of abuse of
 
 3           alcohol and treatment; and
 
 4      (4)  Receive:
 
 5           (A)  For a second offense, not less than thirty days
 
 6                community service or five days of imprisonment;
 
 7                and
 
 8           (B)  For third and subsequent offenses, not less than
 
 9                sixty days community service or ten days of
 
10                imprisonment.
 
11      Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to amend the law
 
12 relating to the administrative revocation of driver's licenses by
 
13 expanding that law to include the revocation of all motor vehicle
 
14 registrations issued to a driver who has been convicted of a
 
15 previous violation of driving under the influence of intoxicating
 
16 liquor (section 291-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes) or habitually
 
17 driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs
 
18 (section 291-4.4).  In addition, this Act increases the penalties
 
19 for subsequent convictions under section 291-4.

 5           intoxication and drug control roadblock established and

10           arrestee drove, operated, or was in actual physical
 
11           control of the motor vehicle while under the influence
 
12           of intoxicating liquor; and
 
13      (3)  The evidence proves by a preponderance that the
 
14           arrestee drove, operated, or was in actual physical
 
15           control of the motor vehicle while under the influence
 
16           of intoxicating liquor or while having an alcohol
 
17           concentration of .08 or more or that the arrestee

 5 shall be admitted into evidence.  Upon notice to the director no
 
 6 later than five days prior to the hearing that the arrestee
 
 7 wishes to examine a law enforcement official who made a sworn
 
 8 statement, the director shall issue a subpoena for the official
 
 9 to appear at the hearing.  If the official cannot appear, the
 
10 official may at the discretion of the director testify by

18 license, motor vehicle registration and license plates, or both,
 
19 and any fees collected from the arrestee under this part along
 
20 with a certified statement that administrative revocation

 3      [(j)] (l)  For good cause shown, the director may grant a
 
 4 continuance either of the commencement of the hearing or of a
 
 5 hearing that has already commenced.  If a continuance is granted
 
 6 at the request of the director, the director shall extend the
 
 7 validity of the temporary permit for a period not to exceed the
 
 8 period of the continuance.  If a continuance is granted at the
 
 9 request of the arrestee, the director shall not extend the
 
10 validity of the temporary permit.  For purposes of this section a
 
11 continuance means a delay in the commencement of the hearing or
 
12 an interruption of a hearing that has commenced other than for
 
13 recesses during the day or at the end of the day or week.
 
14      (m)  The director may grant a restricted motor vehicle
 
15 registration to a family member or co-owner of any motor vehicle
 
16 upon determination that the person is completely dependent on the
 
17 motor vehicle for the necessities of life.  The restricted motor
 
18 vehicle registration shall not be valid for use by the arrestee.
 
19 The operation of a motor vehicle in a manner inconsistent with
 
20 the restricted motor vehicle license plate registration shall
 
21 have the same effect as operating an unlicensed motor vehicle.
