STAND. COM. REP. NO. 95

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 210

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 210 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF BICYCLES AND MOPEDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to prohibit assessment of a fee for registration of a bicycle or moped that is gifted within ninety days of issuance of the original certificate of registration.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Bicycling League and one individual.

 

     Your Committee finds that the purchaser of a bicycle or moped signs a registration form at the place of purchase.  Under existing laws, the receiver of the gifted bicycle or moped must then re-register the bicycle or moped in the receiver's own name and pay a re-registration fee.  This measure allows the gift receiver to reregister the bicycle or moped for no additional cost, thereby removing an unintended double charge in the bicycle registration system.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 210 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 Public Safety, Intergovernmental and Military Affairs,
