RE: H.B. No. 2580

 

 

 

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. 2580 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER LICENSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to distinguish the examination, licensing, and operation of mopeds from that of motor scooters and motorcycles.

The Department of Transportation submitted testimony supporting this measure.

Your Committee finds that this bill clarifies what type of vehicle can be used for the skills test in obtaining a class 1 or 2 driver's license. This measure clarifies driver licensing and enforcement requirements by separating the examination, licensing, and operation of mopeds from that of motor scooters and motorcycles.

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. 2580 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,
