RE: H.B. No. 241

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 241 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Require all vehicle lessors with a motor vehicle fleet to ground all vehicles subject to a manufacturer's recall no less than forty-eight hours after the issuance of the recall until appropriate repairs are made; and

(2) Define peer-to-peer vehicle sharing related terms.

The Department of Transportation, Enterprise Holdings, and O‘ahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i testified in support of this measure. Turo testified in opposition to this measure. The Department of Taxation, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and Tax Foundation of Hawaii provided comments.

Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting its substantive language and inserting new language creating a task force to develop legislation to regulate peer-to-peer motor vehicle sharing companies.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 241, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 241, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

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