Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2838 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to clarify that a driver licensing examination is required for drivers of mopeds.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Department of Transportation (DOT).

This measure also clarifies requirements for using a moped to obtain a driver's license for a moped.

Your Committee notes the testimony of the DOT that this measure would separate the examination, licensing, and operation of mopeds from that of motor scooters and motorcycles.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2838 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
