STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2010

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:    S.B. No. 2201

       S.D. 1

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

Madam:

     Your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2201 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to repeal certain obsolete deadlines concerning payment of motor vehicle taxes and motor vehicle registration fees, as well as the issuance of certificates of registration.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the City and County of Honolulu and the County of Hawaii.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

     Your Committee finds that this is a housekeeping measure.  Since the initiation of a staggered system of motor vehicle registration dates, the repealed provisions are no longer necessary.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purpose of clarity and style.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2201, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2201, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs,
