                                 RE: H.B. No. 714
                                     




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

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B.
No. 714 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SPECIAL NUMBER PLATES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to reduce inactive special
number plate files.

     Your Committee finds that counties have an overabundance of
unused special number plates.  There are many plates that are
inactive because vehicles have been taken out of the state.  Your
Committee further finds that there are many plates in inventory
waiting for reissuance or initial issuance.

     This bill proposes to allow the Director of Finance of each
county to discard and allow for new applications of inactive
special number plates that have not been assigned or registered
during the preceding three years.

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

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 479
                                 Page 2

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
714 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to
the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Transportation,



                                   ______________________________
                                   KENNETH T. HIRAKI, Chair
