C.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 845, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSING,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
This measure makes revisions to the commercial driver licensing law to conform with provisions of federal law. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has reviewed Hawaii law to ensure consistency with federal law. This measure includes the changes recommended by the federal government.
Your Committee finds that failure to enact this measure may result in the loss of approximately $4,900,000, or five percent of federal-aid highway funds, based upon fiscal year 2004, for the first year of non-compliance, and $9,800,000, or ten percent, per year thereafter. Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program grants may also be at risk as a result of noncompliance.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Clarifying the proper federal statute citation, as contained in the original version of the measure;
(2) Deleting an erroneous statutory cross-reference; and
(3) Changing the effective date to upon approval.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 845, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 845, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
