STAND. COM. REP. NO.554
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2001
RE: H.B. No. 1405
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2001
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1405 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO USE OF INTOXICANTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of the bill is to conform amendments relating to revocation of motor vehicle registrations for repeat intoxicated drivers under Administrative Drivers License Revocation (ADLR) proceedings with amendments that consolidate and conform offenses relating to operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant.
Your Committee received testimony in support of the measure from the Department of Transportation and the Department of the Prosecuting Attorney for the City and County of Honolulu.
Your Committee finds that Act 189, Session Laws of 2000, failed to include the provisions for:
(1) Repeat intoxicated drivers which took effect on September 30, 2000; and
(2) Habitual driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor and preliminary alcohol screening devices.
This measure will prevent the automatic repeal of the amendments made to those provisions when Act 189 comes into effect.
Your Committee amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for clarity and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1405, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1405, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
____________________________ ERIC G. HAMAKAWA, Chair |
