Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2024

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. 2731, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SPECIAL LICENSE PLATES FOR IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN WAR VETERANS,"

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 authorize the issuance of special number plates to honor veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Your Committee on Conference finds that while special number plates are available for combat veterans of certain wars and conflicts, veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are not included. Therefore, this measure will create license plates to honor the veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by making it effective 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. 2731, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2731, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
