                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2189
                                        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. 2189 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PARKING CITATIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to increase from forty-five
to sixty days, the time within which a lessor of a rental or
U-drive motor vehicle has to provide a court with the name and
address of a lessee receiving a parking citation or summons.

     This measure also deletes the provision that allows the
administrative judge to impose an administrative fee of $5
dollars on the lessor instead of requiring the name and address
of the lessee.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from
Catrala-Hawaii.  The Judiciary offered comments on the impact of
the measure, but took no position.

     Upon consideration of all pertinent issues and testimony
presented, your Committee finds that increasing the time limit
from forty-five days to sixty days will allow the lessors more
time with which to comply with the law.

     Your Committee has amended the measure by reinstating the
waiver provision, changing it from discretionary to mandatory,
and applying it only if the lessor fails to provide the name and
address of the lessee within sixty days following receipt of

 
a                                                     SB2189 SD1

notification of the summons or citation.  Your Committee has also
amended the measure by clarifying that the name and address of
the lessee required is the one furnished by the lessee to the
lessor.

     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. 2189, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 2189, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee
on Judiciary.

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



                                   ______________________________
                                   CAL KAWAMOTO, Chair
