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 referred S.B. No. 1266 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to restore language regarding the illegal display or possession of a fictitious or fraudulent driver's license, and language prohibiting the use of a false name on a driver's license application, that was repealed by Act 224, Session Laws of Hawaii 2002.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation and the State Attorney General.

Your Committee finds that this measure restores the ability of counties to prosecute the offenses of display or possession of a fraudulent driver's license and use of a false name in a driver's license application.

Apparently, these two offenses existed prior to the 2002 Regular Session, during which a measure passed to erroneously delete these two criminal offenses. Your Committee therefore supports this measure to restore state law.

Your Committee made technical, nonsubstantive amendments to this measure.

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. 1266, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1266, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
