                                   RE:  S.B. No. 1390
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 1390 entitled: 

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to establish the offense of
aggressive driving.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Honolulu Police Department and the Hawaii County Police
Department.

     Your Committee finds that the State is in need of a law to
address aggressive driving with significant penalties, and this
measure will create an intermediate penalty between a traffic
infraction and reckless driving.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by restating the
language regarding a person engaging in aggressive driving while
operating a vehicle for the purpose of clarity. 

     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. 1390, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 1390, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee
on Judiciary.
