Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was recommitted H.B. No. 993 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to apply the state reconstructed vehicle laws to counties with a population under 500,000, unless the county has adopted an ordinance regulating the inspection and certification of reconstructed vehicles.

Your Committee previously heard this measure on March 19, 2003, and voted to pass it unamended. After this measure was recommitted to your Committee on March 27, 2003, your Committee held another decision making meeting and has decided to amend this measure to delay its effective date until January 1, 2050, for the purpose of allowing for further review this legislative session.

Your Committee is concerned that this measure may have an undue impact on the neighbor islands and therefore believes that the potential impact of this measure should be discussed during conference.

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 H.B. No. 993, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 993, S.D. 1.
