STAND. COM. REP. NO.  401-08

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2008

 

RE:   H.B. No. 2847

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2008

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 2847 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONDITIONAL LICENSE PERMITS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to expand the scope under which persons who are subjected to administrative revocation of their driver's license may be granted a conditional license permit to include the necessity to drive:

 

     (1)  To attend school or vocational training;

 

     (2)  For personal medical or dental care or treatment; or

 

     (3)  To assist in the care of another person who is unable to      drive due to the other person's age, disability, or           medical condition.

 

     This bill also clarifies when a conditional license permit is permissible for certain commercial drivers.

 

     The Judiciary submitted comments on this bill.

 

     Currently, individuals who have their license revoked may apply for a conditional license permit after a minimum of thirty days to be allowed to drive for the remainder of the revocation period.  To receive such a permit, certain conditions need to be met.  Your Committee finds the additional conditions authorized by this measure are fair and reasonable.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2847 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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