COM. REP. NO. 1253
Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 823
S.D. 2
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 S.B. No. 823, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Provide an exemption for flatbed trucks from registration renewals and initial registrations of motor carrier vehicles when used as marine terminal equipment temporarily moving in or between certain terminals; and
(2) Add new terminal locales, times, and roadways to be covered under the exemption.
Your Committee finds that the existing law limits the public roadways upon which the marine terminal equipment may be operated without a valid motor vehicle registration. This measure allows for operational efficiencies in loading, offloading, and otherwise moving cargo. Your Committee further finds that to promote further efficiencies, the Department of Transportation has designed and is constructing facilities, including the Kapalama Container Terminal, that will allow cargo to move between terminals without the need to travel on state or county roads thereby alleviating traffic congestion on these roads.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to June 30, 3000, to encourage further discussion.
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 S.B. No. 823, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 823, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
