     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2267, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE STATE HIGHWAY ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to enable the State and counties to enforce illegal parking violations involving the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on state highways and provide for parking management-related improvements by establishing the State Highway Enforcement Program, which adds a surcharge to fines for these violations and deposits the surcharge amounts into a newly-created State Highway Enforcement Fund.

 

     The Department of Transportation and one individual testified in support of this measure.  One individual testified in opposition.  The Department of Budget and Finance and County of Kauai Planning Department provided comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2267, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.

 

 

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