STAND. COM. REP. 1331

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: S.B. No. 1405

H.D. 1

 

 

 

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 S.B. No. 1405 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of the bill is to conform state law to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's recommendation that Hawaii require proof of domicile before issuing a commercial driver's license (CDL).

The Department of Transportation testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee finds that this measure will allow a CDL to be issued only to persons domiciled in this State. This will bring state law into compliance with federal law.

Your Committee amended the bill by making technical, nonsubstantive changes for style and clarity.

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 S.B. No. 1405, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1405, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
