     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1101 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR CARRIERS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to help reduce the number of uncertified motor carriers in the State by:

 

     (1)  Prohibiting uncertified common carriers from recovering undercharges;

 

     (2)  Prohibiting uncertified motor carriers from holding a statutory lien on transported freight or goods; and

 

     (3)  Permitting a person who uses the services of an uncertified common carrier to bring a judicial action for the recovery of all paid compensation.

 

     The Hawaii Transportation Association supported this measure.  The Public Utilities Commission provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion.


     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. 1101, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1101, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary.

 

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