Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Transportation and Government Operations and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 2747, H.D. 2, entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow the examiner of drivers to issue an instruction permit to an applicant with a disability who completed a medical review with this State, and as a condition to licensure, must pass a road test, but has failed on the applicant's first attempt.

Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation, Honolulu Police Department, and Disability and Communication Access Board.

Your Committees find that an applicant for an instruction permit, who has failed the first road test, should not be denied a permit if the person has completed and passed a medical review to certify the applicant as qualified for an instruction permit.

Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments and changing the effective date to upon approval.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Transportation and Government Operations and Intergovernmental Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2747, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2747, H.D. 2, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.
