                                   RE:  S.B. No. 3104
                                        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. 3104 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of the measure is to provide for the
distribution of monetary assessments for motor vehicle violations
to the counties for use to fund salaries of police department
personnel.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Maui County Council, a member of the Honolulu City Council, and
the Advocates for Consumer Rights.  Testimony in opposition to
this measure was received from the Department of Transportation.

     Your Committee recognizes that the counties have the
responsibility for the administration and oversight of motor
vehicles and their usage in the State, in particular, vehicle
registration and enforcing the motor vehicle code. 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by expanding the use
of the monetary assessments from salaries of the police
department personnel to appropriations for the police department,
including salaries of the police department personnel.  Your
Committee has also made technical, nonsubstantive amendments.          

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is

 
a                                                     SB3104 SD1

attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3104, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 3104, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee
on Ways and Means.

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