     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate
in H.B. No. 1759, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:

    "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT,"

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 traffic
enforcement demonstration project until July 1, 2003, authorize
the department of transportation to retain and pay contractors
for the project, and make other required changes to the enabling
legislation.

     Your Committee on Conference finds that this measure will

investment, and provide the Legislature with sufficient time to
enact appropriate permanent legislation.  Your Committee further
finds that the further implementation of the photo red light

imaging and photo speed imaging detector demonstration project
will assist in both reducing traffic congestion and making
Hawaii's roads safer.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by making the following
amendments:

     (1) Changing the fiscal years for the sum of $5,000,000 to
         be appropriated out of the moneys deposited into the
         photo enforcement revolving fund from "fiscal years
         2000-2001, 2001-2002, and 2002-2003" to "fiscal year
         2000-2001".

     (2) Replacing the term "the fund" with the term "this Act",
         on page 30, line 17.

     (3) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the
         purposes of style and clarity.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your
Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your
Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 1759, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto
as H.B. No. 1759, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the managers:
