                                   RE:  S.B. No. 2114
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2114 entitled: 

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of the measure is to expand the eligibility of
those motor vehicle owners, nonprofit organizations, and veterans
groups eligible to obtain special number license plates.

     Testimony in support of the measure was received from the
City and County of Honolulu and the Hawaii State Commission on
the Status of Women.

     Your Committee finds that it is only fair that motor vehicle
owners, nonprofit organizations, and veterans groups should be
eligible for special license plates in addition to government
agencies and educational institutions.

     Your Committee has amended the measure by increasing the
size of the decal from two and one-half inches wide to three
inches wide, and has expanded the eligibility to obtain the
special license plates to motor vehicle owners following proper
application.      

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2114, as amended herein, and

 
a                                                     SB2114 SD1

                                   Page 2


recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 2114, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar
for Third Reading.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Transportation
                                   and Intergovernmental Affairs,



                                   ______________________________
