STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2791
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2828
S.D. 2
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2828, 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 provide the Director of Transportation with greater authority over the motor carrier vehicle safety inspection program.
More specifically, this measure authorizes the Director of Transportation to:
(1) Alter the administration of the motor carrier vehicle safety inspection program; and
(2) Adjust the fees paid by a vehicle owner for a motor carrier vehicle safety inspection and the fees collected from the motor carrier vehicle inspection stations,
through administrative rule-making.
Your Committee did not receive any written comments on this measure.
Your Committee finds that the current method of adjusting costs and fees related to state motor carrier vehicle safety inspections by legislation is inefficient. Your Committee also finds that the Director of Transportation is the most qualified person to determine whether costs and fees should be adjusted, and if so, what the adjustment should be.
Your Committee has
amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050,
to facilitate further discussion on the measure; and
(2) Making technical nonsubstantive changes for
purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 2828, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2828, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
