Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 324, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

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

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 bill is to enable an individual who lives in Hawaii but who is ineligible to receive a social security number to obtain a driver's license.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by inserting the contents of H.B. No. 324, H.D. 1, thereby:

(1) Eliminating "in-state Hawaii student photo identification document" as optional proof of identity;

(2) Deleting a list of "government-issued" photo identification documents;

(3) Deleting the requirement of presenting a photocopy of the applicant's international driving permit if the applicant has one;

(4) Adding a requirement that the applicant supply documentation of ineligibility for a social security number; and

(5) Requiring the Director of Transportation, not the Examiner of Drivers, to determine acceptable identification documents.

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 H.B. No. 324, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 324, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
