Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1730, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to increase the drivers education fund underwriters fee for each motor vehicle insured by each insurer from $2 to $3 a year.

Furthermore, this measure decreases the fee allocation to the Department of Transportation from fifty per cent to one-third, and increases the allocation to the Department of Education from fifty per cent to two-thirds.

Your Committee finds that the fee increase and reallocation are necessary to meet the increased demand for enrollment in the Department of Education's driver education program.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1730, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
