     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 323 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to amend the definition of special interest vehicles to include certain types of former military vehicles, provided the vehicle is at least twenty-five years old and the vehicle meets certain use and weight restrictions, and to provide for registration and allowable and prohibited uses for such vehicles.

 

     The Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission and a few individuals testified in support of this measure.  The Department of Transportation testified in opposition to this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to promote further discussion; 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 Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 323, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 323, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

 

 

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