RE: H.B. No. 831
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. 831 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTERISLAND VEHICLE TRANSFERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to reduce the administrative burden of shipping a motor vehicle interisland, while providing law enforcement agencies and financial institutions the means of obtaining information on the shipped vehicle by:
(1) Authorizing the registered owner, or its authorized agent, to ship the motor vehicle interisland, without the written consent of the legal owner, usually a financial institution; and
(2) Requiring the carrier to maintain, for not less than three years, the vehicle identification number acquired by a physical inspection, shipping records, and a description of the vehicle that shall be available for inspection by law enforcement agencies and financial institutions.
The Hawaii Bankers Association and Young Brothers, Ltd. submitted testimony supporting the bill. The Hawaii Credit Union League submitted comments to the bill. The Honolulu Police Department submitted testimony in opposition to the bill.
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. 831 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
|
