STAND. COM. REP. NO. 608-16
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2016
RE: H.B. No. 2221
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2016
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2221, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PARKING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
As a result of efforts to promote clean energy initiatives and increased costs of gasoline, electric vehicle use in Hawaii has increased over the years. Your Committee finds that the legislature has also promoted the use of electric vehicles by providing incentives for electric vehicle use including requiring parking facilities with 100 stalls or more to be equipped with an electric vehicle charging station that is designated for the exclusive use of an electric vehicle. However, your Committee finds that the current law regarding the provision of electric
vehicle charging stations in parking facilities contains no penalties for violations and therefore no consequences for non-compliance. This measure addresses this issue.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2221, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
