STAND. COM. REP. NO.887
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2001
RE: S.B. No. 212
S.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 S.B. No. 212, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION PERMIT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve the processing of temporary instruction permits for driving by:
(1) Increasing the term of a temporary instruction permit for driving from six months to one year; and
(2) Prohibiting holders of a class 1 (motorscooters) or 2 (motorcycles and motorscooters) temporary instruction permit from renewing or having another temporary instruction permit issued to them unless they have taken the examination for a class 1 or 2 license at least once prior to the expiration of the temporary instruction permit.
The Honolulu Police Department, Department of Transportation, and the City and County of Honolulu testified in support of this measure.
Your Committee finds that increasing the term of a temporary instruction permit will:
(1) Allow minors to gain more driving experience prior to taking the road test; and
(2) Reduce the number of minors who are forced to renew their temporary instruction permit because of the shortage of driver education instructors.
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. 212, S.D. 1, 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,
|
