S.D. 1

H.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 212, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION PERMIT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to extend the valid period of a temporary driver's permit from 180 days to one year and replace references to motor scooter and motorcycle temporary instruction permits with class 1 and 2 permits, respectively, under the Hawaii Highway Safety Act, Chapter 286, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

Supportive testimony was submitted by the Department of Transportation, the Traffic Division of the Honolulu Police Department, and the Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu.

After careful consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Replacing references to "class" with "category", the appropriate term used in Chapter 286, Hawaii Revised Statutes, regarding the types of driver's licenses and permits issued in the State; and

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

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 212, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 212, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
