STAND. COM. REP. NO. 710
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2005
RE: H.B. No. 79
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2005
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 79 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SPECIAL NUMBER PLATES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to:
(1) Allow the transfer of special license plates upon the transfer or sale of a vehicle; and
(2) Authorize counties to remove an organization from the special number plate program if the organization does not achieve the requisite number of 150 participants within a three-year period.
The City & County of Honolulu Department of Customer Services testified in support of this bill.
Your Committee finds that this bill provides buyers of vehicles with organizational license plates with the flexibility to decide whether to retain an organizational license plate without having to go through a new process to assign a new set of the same plates.
In addition, costs associated with administering this program dictate the need for a minimum level of participation. Your Committee finds the 150 participants within a three-year period an important minimum for organizations to attain to continue their affiliation with the license plate program.
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 H.B. No. 79 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
|
