Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2506, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CIVIL IDENTIFICATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to consolidate the State non-driver's identification program with the driver's license program under the Department of Transportation.  Specifically, this measure, among other things:

     (1)  Transfers the responsibility of the program for the issuance of non-driver's identification cards for the State of Hawaii from the Department of the Attorney General to the Director of Transportation; and

     (2)  Requires that the non-driver's identification cards be issued by the examiner of drivers in each county.

The Department of Transportation, Department of the Attorney General, and the Judiciary testified in support of this measure.  The Department of Customer Services of the Division of Motor Vehicle, Licensing and Permits Administration of the City and County of Honolulu provided comments.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2506, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
