RE:    S.B. No. 1014

       S.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Energy, to which was referred S.B. No. 1014 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 expand the Director of Transportation's authority over the cost of motor vehicle inspections, the fees collected from inspection stations, and the administration of the program.

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation and one individual.

     Your Committee finds that authorizing the Department of Transportation to change the motor vehicle inspection fees by administrative rule is expedient and efficient.

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

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation and Energy that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1014, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1014, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation and Energy,
