STAND. COM. REP. NO.426-02
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2002
RE: H.B. No. 1746
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2002
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1746, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNATTENDED VEHICLES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to require tow away zone notices to be clearly visible:
(1) To the driver of a vehicle approaching any marked or unmarked parking space; or
(2) Within any marked or unmarked parking space where a vehicle may be subject to tow.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
Your Committee finds that this bill will clearly address concerns from citizens regarding areas where property owners and tow operators fail to post proper signage, towing vehicles of owners unaware of the tow away zone.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1746, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
|
