                                 RE: H.B. No. 7
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which
was referred H.B. No. 7 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to increase the limit on the
lengths of truck-trailers and semi-trailers operating on public
roads, streets, or highways.

     Testimony in support of this bill was received from the
Hawaii Transportation Association and the Department of
Transportation.

     Your Committee finds that longer trailer lengths for truck-
trailers and semi-trailers provided for in this measure will
increase the efficiency of the transportation industry with no
reduction in safety.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to
this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and
purpose of H.B. No. 7 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
