Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

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. 1502, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"

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:

(1) Authorize the Department of Transportation to regulate the parking of shared cars at state airports;

(2) Authorize the counties to regulate the parking of shared cars on highways under their jurisdiction; and

(3) Amend the required coverage for shared cars that are made available through a peer-to-peer car-sharing program during the car-sharing period.

Your Committee on Conference finds that the growing popularity of shared cars provides additional transportation options for residents and visitors. However, with the proliferation of shared cars across the State, there is a growing need for additional protections for consumers and drivers. This measure establishes additional insurance protections for shared cars.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Clarifying that the Department of Transportation may regulate parking utilized by peer-to-peer car sharing at state airports;

(2) Clarifying that the counties are authorized to, by ordinance, regulate parking utilized by shared cars;

(3) Repealing the sunset date of June 30, 2025, thereby making permanent Act 56, Session Laws of Hawaii 2022, relating to peer-to-peer car sharing insurance requirements;

(4) Inserting an effective date of January 1, 2024; and

(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

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. 1502, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1502, S.D. 2, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
