H.D. 2

C.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

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. 2118, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS,"

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 driver of a moped to be in immediate possession of a valid driver's license or instruction permit at all times.

Your Committee on Conference finds that existing law governing moped licenses can create confusion and difficulty in law enforcement. The statutes require a moped operator to have a license but do not specify that this license must be on the operator's person when operating a moped. This measure clarifies that when operating a moped, the driver must have their moped license on their person.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by

changing its effective date to upon its 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. 2118, 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. 2118, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
