RE: H.B. No. 1109

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1109 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to meet federal requirements on fraudulent activity relating to commercial learner's permits and commercial driver's licenses.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee finds that the Department of Transportation is required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, pursuant to title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations section 383.73(k)(2), to have policies in effect that result in the disqualification of the commercial learner's permit and commercial driver's license for applicants who are suspected of fraud related to the testing and issuance of the permit and license.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to June 30, 3000, 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. 1109, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1109, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

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

____________________________
