A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 286-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new definition to be appropriately inserted and to read as follows:
""After market motorcycle frame" means a frame that is manufactured to replace the frame of a motorcycle that was certified by its manufacturer to be in compliance with all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards as of the date of manufacture, or the frame of a homemade motorcycle that was manufactured not for profit by a person who built the motorcycle as a hobby."
SECTION 2. Section 286-42, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) The county director of finance shall
examine and to the best of the director's ability determine the genuineness and
regularity of every registration and transfer of registration of a vehicle as
in this part provided, in order that every certificate issued for a vehicle
shall contain true statements of the ownership thereof, and to prevent the
registration of a vehicle by any person not entitled thereto, and the director
of finance may require any applicant to furnish [such] the information,
in addition to that contained in the application, as may be necessary to
satisfy the director of finance of the truth and regularity of the
application. The director of finance may accept any county certificate of
title issued for a vehicle as prima facie evidence of ownership for
registration and transfer of registration. The director may issue vehicle
identification numbers for reconstructed vehicles, special interest vehicles,
or motorcycles, which do not have vehicle identification numbers if the
director determines that the requirements of this section have been met.
The county director of finance may register a
motorcycle with an after market motorcycle frame, using the [vehicle
identification] number of the frame as issued by the [incomplete vehicle]
manufacturer of the frame[.], the vehicle identification number on
the certification label, or a vehicle identification number assigned by the county
director of finance. A bill of sale and [Manufacturers Statement of
Origin] manufacturers statement of origin for the frame, engine, and
transmission must be presented and retained as a part of the permanent county
registration records. If a [Manufacturers Statement of Origin] manufacturers
statement of origin is not available for the engine and transmission due to
the use of a used or reconstructed engine, transmission, or both, then a bill
of sale or other proof of ownership, satisfactory to the director of finance must
be presented. Except for motorcycles that are built on after market
motorcycle frames, special interest vehicles, and reconstructed vehicles, no
motor vehicle or device shall be registered unless certified by the
manufacturer to be in compliance with all applicable federal motor vehicle safety
standards as of the date of manufacture."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on January 7, 2059.
