                                   RE:  S.B. No. 662
                                        S.D. 1




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 662 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF A TRAILER,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to extend the time period in
which to record the transfer of ownership of a trailer from
twenty to thirty days and increase the fee for failure to comply
with the recording of a transfer of ownership from $5 to $50.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Department of Customer Services, City and County of Honolulu.

     The testimony received by your Committee indicated that this
measure would conform the transfer of trailer ownership
recordation provisions with those relating to motor vehicles.

     Upon consideration of all pertinent issues and testimony
presented, your Committee finds that this measure will encourage
timely recordation of the transfer of ownership of a trailer.
Your Committee has amended the measure to increase the fee for
untimely recordation to $10 rather than $50.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 662, as amended herein, and
recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached

on Ways and Means.
