STAND. COM. REP. NO.296

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: S.B. No. 1136

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 1136 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE DRIVER'S LICENSE REVOCATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to remove law enforcement mileage fees in relation to driver's license revocation hearings.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Judiciary and Honolulu Police Department (HPD).

This measure is a conforming amendment to the amendment enacted in Act 157, Session Laws of Hawaii 2001, which provided that the costs of issuing subpoenas for witnesses, including mileage fees, is to be borne by the party requesting the subpoena. The Act did not delete the reference to law enforcement mileage fees from the list of administrative costs covered under the $30 statutory charge for fees and costs. This measure makes it clear that the party requesting the subpoena must pay for the law enforcement mileage fees as with any other witness mileage fees, in addition to the $30 fee.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1136 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs and Government Operations,
