Honolulu, Hawaii
H.D. 1
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1063 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE HIGHWAY SAFETY COUNCIL,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to amend the number of members on the State Highway Safety Council.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.
Your Committee finds that the State Highway Safety Council advises the Governor on highway safety matters. Existing law requires that no more than twenty people be appointed by the Governor to serve on the Highway Safety Council. However, your Committee notes that there has been difficulty finding qualified and suitable candidates to fulfil this requirement. This measure will enable the Highway Safety Council to achieve quorum and take action on important measures by reducing the number of members appointed to the Council.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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. 1063, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1063, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
