STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2681
Honolulu, Hawaii
S.D. 1
President of the Senate
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2931, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTIONS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to improve the administration of the State's motor vehicle inspection program.
More specifically, this measure:
(1) Authorizes the Director of Transportation to adopt administrative rules for the administration and enforcement of motor carrier vehicle safety inspections, including fees charged to vehicle owners and fees collected from stations; and
(2) With regard to motor vehicles with insurance identification cards issued pursuant to section 431:10C-107, Hawaii Revised Statutes, repeals statutory language that requires the certificates of inspection to state the insurance effective date, carrier, and policy number; and
(3) Clarifies that for motor vehicles with the certificates of self-insurance described in section 431:10C-606, Hawaii Revised Statutes, certificates of inspections shall state the expiration date as determined from the certificate of self-insurance.
Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation and Hawaii Automobile Dealers Association.
Your Committee finds that the current motor vehicle inspection program is inefficient in that it requires legislation to be passed every time a change to the program is desired. Your Committee further finds that authorizing the Director of Transportation to make changes to the program by administrative rule will improve efficiency while also giving voice to stakeholder concerns.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2931, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
