STAND. COM. REP. NO. 6-02

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: H.B. No. 1727

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1727 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER'S LICENSE INSTRUCTION PERMIT RENEWAL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to allow an individual with a driver's license instruction permit to renew the permit 30 days prior to, and up to 90 days after, the expiration date of the existing permit.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu. Testimony supporting the intent of the measure was submitted by the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee understands that existing law does not establish a renewal period for driver's license instruction permits. This bill clarifies the renewal period during which persons are exempt from retaking the knowledge test. Moreover, this measure brings the driver's license instruction permit renewal process in line with the driver's license renewal process, which has a similar renewal period.

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. 1727 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

 

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