STAND. COM. REP. NO.3231

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: H.B. No. 2580

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2580 entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to distinguish the examination, licensing, and operation of mopeds from that of motor scooters and motorcycles.

Your Committee finds that under existing law, persons may use mopeds to meet the licensing requirements in section 286-102, Hawaii Revised Statutes, for motor scooters. This measure would distinguish mopeds as class 1 vehicles and motor scooters and motorcycles as class 2 vehicles.

Your Committee believes that the measure will conform licensing requirements to the definitions of mopeds, motor scooters, and motorcycles found in Section 286-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2580, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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