RE: H.B. No. 830

H.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 830, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER LICENSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to:

(1) Require three-wheeled motor scooters to be licensed by the examiner of drivers; and

(2) Clarify that the three-wheel scooter is a lesser category vehicle and, therefore, within the scope of a Commercial Driver's License.

Supportive testimony was submitted by a concerned citizen. The Department of Transportation and the Honolulu Police Department opposed the bill.

After careful consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Clarifying the engine specifications as having a maximum piston or rotor displacement of fifty cubic centimeters; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, style, and conformity.

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. 830, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 830, H.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
