STAND. COM. REP. NO. 385

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1279

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.B. No. 1279 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO STATE IDENTIFICATION CARDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to amend the mandatory inscription on civil identification cards.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.

 

     Your Committee finds that the inscription on the Hawaii state identification card was erroneously produced to include "Hawaii Identification Card", rather than "State of Hawaii Identification Card", as required by statute.  Your Committee further finds that there are numerous residents who are already carrying the cards made in error, and requiring the residents to go to the issuing county office for a corrected card would cause a great deal of inconvenience.  This measure would address the error in printing by amending the existing law to say "Hawaii Identification Card".

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     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 S.B. No. 1279, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1279, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.

 

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