                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2405
                                        




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. 2405 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER'S LICENSE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to amend the drivers license
law to require a statement indicating the date on which a person
will attain the age of eighteen.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Department of Health and Legislative Information Services of
Hawaii.  Testimony in opposition of this measure was received
from the Department of Transportation and the City and County of
Honolulu.

     Your Committee supports the intent of this measure which is
to reduce minors' access to tobacco products and agrees that a
law requiring drivers' licenses to display the year a minor
reaches the age of eighteen would help curtail minors' access to
tobacco products.

     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. 2405 and recommends that it pass
Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
