Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2025

State of Hawaii

Sir and Madam:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1195, S.D. 1, 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) Prohibit street parking within twenty feet on each side of any crosswalk or intersection, regardless of the presence or absence of official signs or curb markings;

(2) Require fines collected for street parking restrictions to be deposited into the Safe Routes to School Program Special Fund; and

(3) Specify that signs or curb markings shall not be required to restrict parking within twenty feet of a crosswalk or intersection.

Your Committee on Conference finds that pedestrian injuries and deaths often occur at crosswalks and intersections. Your Committee on Conference further finds that parking in crosswalks and intersections impacts pedestrian visibility and potentially exacerbates the high number of accidents at these specific areas. Therefore, this measure prohibits parking within certain distances of crosswalks and enhances enforcement measures to ensure safety for pedestrians.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing its effective date to January 1, 2026; and

(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment 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. 1195, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1195, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
