Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 2021, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to allow registration of more special interest vehicles by:

The Volkswagen Club of Hawaii, Fred's Auto Top Shop, Inc., Security Alarm Shop, Mr. Sandman Inc., Kaimuki ACE Hardware & Home Improvement Center, and numerous concerned individuals testified in support of this bill. The Department of Transportation supported the intent of this measure.

Your Committee finds that registration of well-functioning, modified vehicles or their replicas should not be limited to vehicles manufactured before 1949 and their replicas. From the vantage point of 2004, it would be reasonable to designate modified vehicles manufactured before 1968 and their replicas as special interest vehicles eligible for registration.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

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. 2021, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2021, S.D. 1, H.D. 2.
