Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1235 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to protect Social Security numbers from identity theft by eliminating the use of Social Security numbers on Hawaii commercial driver's licenses.

The Department of Transportation, Office of Information Practices, and the Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu testified in support of this measure.

Hawaii driver's licenses are now issued with a computer-generated driver license number, rather than the driver's Social Security number. This is a housekeeping measure to bring commercial driver's licenses into conformity with the elimination of the use of Social Security numbers on motor vehicle driver's licenses.

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 H.B. No. 1235 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
