begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to ensure the safety of the public by expanding county enforcement of traffic regulations on public streets, roads, or highways whose ownership is in dispute between the State and the county, and on certain private streets, highways, or thoroughfares, to include laws relating to county vehicular taxes, motor vehicle safety responsibility, traffic violations, use of intoxicants while operating a vehicle, motor vehicle insurance, motorcycle and motor scooter insurance, and odometers.
The Department of Transportation, Office of the Mayor, Prosecuting Attorney, and the Police Department of the County of Hawaii, and a concerned individual testified in support of this bill. A concerned individual offered comments.
Your Committee raised concerns that the provisions of this bill would impact the operation of recreational vehicles on private property, but received clarification that such activities would not be affected.
Your Committee has amended this bill by changing the effective date to December 21, 2058, to encourage further discussion.
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.
