STAND. COM. REP. NO. 719-06

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2006

RE: H.B. No. 1809

H.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1809, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVER'S LICENSE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to assist our citizen-soldiers by allowing all members of the United States armed forces on active federal service outside Hawaii to renew their driver's licenses within 90 days of their return to the state or discharge from hospitalization.

The Department of Defense, City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii National Guard Enlisted Association, and The Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii testified in support of this bill.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Clarifying that the armed forces member may file an application for a renewal of the driver's license within the specified time period, rather than stipulating that the member's license shall not be revoked or forfeited for failure to file a timely application; and

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

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1809, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1809, H.D. 2.

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