STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1505

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2025

RE: H.R. No. 29

Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2025

State of Hawaii

Madame:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 29 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING EACH COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT TO INCREASE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST OUT-OF-STATE VEHICLES OPERATING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY REGISTERED IN THE APPROPRIATE COUNTY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request each county police department to increase enforcement against out-of-state vehicles operating on public roadways that have not been properly registered in the appropriate county.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.

Your Committee finds that existing law requires out-of-state vehicles to either register with the appropriate county or obtain a permit that allows out-of-state registration and license plate to remain valid until they expire. Your Committee further finds that the State has a vested interest in ensuring that all vehicles operating on public roadways are properly registered and comply with state and county regulations, including vehicle registration.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 29 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

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