S.D. 1

H.D. 2

C.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 2013, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

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

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to require the Director of Transportation to adopt rules allowing an individual who has a letter from a licensed primary care provider certifying that a severe disability causes the individual to be homebound to renew a state identification card by means other than an in-person appearance.

Your Committee on Conference finds that it might be impossible for some individuals to renew their identification card because a severe disability prevents them from renewing their card in person. These individuals should not be denied identification cards solely because of their severe disability. Thus, providing an alternative to renewing identification cards in-person, if a primary care provider certifies that the person has a severe disability, is prudent under the circumstances.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by making it effective upon approval.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2013, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2013, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
