STAND. COM. REP. NO. 882-00

                                 Honolulu, Hawaii
                                                   , 2000

                                 RE: S.B. No. 3100
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.B.
No. 3100 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION
     PERMIT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill, as received by your Committee, is
to extend the time for which a driver's license instruction
permit is valid.

     Your Committee finds that under the current law, applicants
for temporary driver instruction permits, learner's permits,
receive permits which are valid for 180 days.  Your Committee
further finds that many applicants, especially minors, need or
seek more road experience before taking the practical road test.

     This bill proposes that a learner's permit be valid for one
year to provide new drivers with more road experience before
taking the road test with the examiner.

     Testimonies in support of this bill were received from the
Department of Transportation, the City and County of Honolulu,
and an automobile insurance company.

     Your Committee observes that Senate Bill No. 3100 is
identical to House Bill No. 2934.


 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 882-00
                                 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 S.B. No.
3100 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred
to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

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



                                   ______________________________
                                   KENNETH T. HIRAKI, Chair
