STAND. COM. REP. NO.208
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2001
RE: H.B. No. 830
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 Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 830 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER LICENSING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to require three-wheeled motor scooters to be licensed by the examiner of drivers.
The Department of Transportation submitted testimony supporting the intent of the bill. The Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu submitted testimony expressing its concerns. The Hawaii Transportation Alliance submitted testimony supporting the intent of the bill and requested that the motor scooter be included in the Commercial Driver's License. The Honolulu Police Department opposed the measure.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying, and thereby removing the uncertainty, that the three-wheel scooter is a lesser category vehicle and, therefore, within the scope of a Commercial Driver's License; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of style, clarity, and consistency.
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 H.B. No. 830, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 830, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
|
