State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Judiciary and Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 2297, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SUN SCREENING DEVICES,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to allow for the installation of transparent sun screening materials on a vehicle's windshield that will reduce heat and protect a vehicle's interior without jeopardizing public safety.
The Hawaii Business League and a concerned individual testified in support of this bill. The City and County of Honolulu Department of Customer Services offered comments.
Your Committees have amended this bill by:
(1) Clarifying that transparent sun screening film materials exempt from regulation by the State are materials installed, affixed, or applied to any portion of a vehicle's windshield that meet the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 205; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Judiciary and Consumer Protection & Commerce that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2297, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2297, H.D. 2.
