RE: H.B. No. 2065
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 2065 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EXCESSIVE NOISE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to amend the appropriation for fiscal year 2024-2025 for the Noise
Traffic Pilot Program of the Department of Transportation.
Your Committee
received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that excessive
noise is a quality of life issue and there is technology available to detect
vehicle noise emissions. Act 63, Session
Laws of Hawaii 2023, established a pilot program on Oahu to use noise detection
traffic cameras to address excessive traffic noise. This measure ensures that the pilot program
is sufficiently funded for fiscal year 2024-2025.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 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. 2065, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2065, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
