RE: S.B. No. 2504
S.D. 2
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Health and Transportation, to which was referred S.B. No. 2504, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PARKING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to ensure a smooth process for persons with disabilities to receive appropriate parking by requiring the State to reimburse counties for issuing parking placards to persons with disabilities. This bill also directs the Auditor to conduct a cost analysis.
The Disabilities and Communication Access Board (DCAB) and State Council on Developmental Disabilities supported this bill.
Your Committees have amended this bill by:
(1) Reinstating the provision that allows DCAB to charge for replacement of temporary disabled-parking placards;
(2) Inserting an appropriation of $51,180;
(3) Deleting the counties as the agencies that would receive the funds;
(4) Making the Department of Health's DCAB the expending agency; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Health and Transportation that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2504, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2504, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Health and Transportation,
