Honorable Robert Bunda

Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1731, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVERS EDUCATION FUND UNDERWRITERS FEES,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to:
(1) Transfer the distribution of the drivers education fund underwriters fees deposited into the Special Drivers Education Fund Account, from the University of Hawaii Community Colleges, who no longer administer the program, to the Department of Transportation, who presently administers the program;
(2) Recast the Special Drivers Education Fund Account as the Motorcycle Operators Education Special Fund (Special Fund);
(3) Authorize the Department of Transportation (DOT) to expend moneys distributed to DOT for the administration of a motorcycle and motor scooter drivers education program;
(4) Appropriate $20,000 to DOT for fiscal year 2002-2003; and
(5) Certify motorcycle operator education programs operated in the State by any branch of the United States armed services that meet specific requirements.
Your Committee on Conference would like to note that it has
received assurances from DOT that the certification of motorcycle
and motor scooter training programs conducted by the United States
armed services are presently being given certification through
Administrative Rules and that statutorily establishing the
certification for these programs is not necessary.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:
(1) Renaming the Special Fund as the Motorcycle and Motor Scooter Operators Education Fund;
(2) Deleting the provision authorizing the certification of motorcycle operator education programs operated in the State by any branch of the United States armed services;
(3) Deleting the appropriation of $20,000 to DOT from the Motorcycle Operators Education Fund;
(4) Deleting the provision for the transfer of funds from the Drivers Education Fund Account established pursuant to section 431:10G-107(b), HRS, to the Motorcycle Operators Education Fund; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1731, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1731, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
