Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 2352 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTIONS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to expand the authority of the Director of Transportation over required motor vehicle and motor carrier vehicle inspections in the State.

 

     The Department of Transportation; City and County of Honolulu Division of Motor Vehicle, Licensing and Permits; Hawaii Transportation Association; and an individual testified in support of this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Removing the provisions giving the Director of Transportation greater administrative and enforcement rulemaking authority with regard to safety inspection fees from vehicle owners and from the stations conducting the safety inspections; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     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. 2352, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2352, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

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