Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2509 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to clarify that proof of the ability to respond in damages for liability, on account of motor vehicle accidents occurring subsequent to the effective date of such proof, is not required upon a conviction or a license suspension or revocation for violations of the provisional driver licensing law, unless ordered by a court.

The Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu, Office of the Public Defender, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving testified in support of this bill.

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. 2509 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
