STAND. COM. REP. NO.105

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: S.B. No. 676

 

 

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. 676 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to exempt motor vehicle rental companies that periodically ship vehicles in quantities of ten or more from the requirements governing the removal or shipping of vehicles from the State or between the counties.

Catrala-Hawaii and Dollar Rent A Car testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee finds that the documentation requirements for shipping vehicles out of the State or between the counties place an undue burden on motor vehicle rental companies that deal in the shipment of quantities of vehicles. By exempting those companies from the requirements, this measure will facilitate business and commercial activity in the State.

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. 676 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations,
