Honorable Robert Bunda

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 689 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to authorize and regulate the operation of golf carts on state roads on the island of Lanai.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee finds that golf carts are a viable means of transportation that can be used safely in sparsely populated areas, such as Lanai. This measure regulates golf cart users in a reasonable manner, and your Committee supports limited use of golf carts for transportation on Lanai.

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. 689 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
