Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1074 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to require tow companies to provide an automated teller machine on their premises.

Your Committee finds that individuals who have their vehicles towed often find it difficult to access funds, especially when towing fees are in excess of $100. Providing access to automated teller machines will allow these individuals to pay these fees and retrieve their vehicles in a more timely manner.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1074 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
