Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 993 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of the bill is to prevent the application of the reconstructed vehicle law to counties with a population under 500,000 that have or will have ordinances regulating the inspection and certification of reconstructed vehicles.

A concerned individual testified in support of this measure. The Department of Transportation and Department of Customer Services for the City and County of Honolulu testified in opposition to this measure.

Your Committee finds that counties with smaller populations than the City and County of Honolulu should not be required to comply with the reconstructed vehicle law unless those counties adopt ordinances regulating inspection and certification of reconstructed vehicles.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 993 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
