STAND. COM. REP. NO.  559

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2011

 

RE:   H.B. No. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SPECIAL NUMBER PLATES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to designate a special design Gold Star Family license plate for children, parents, spouses, and siblings of fallen soldiers, to be provided by the Director of Finance of the City and County of Honolulu by October 1, 2011.

 

     A representative from the Hawaii Chapter of the Association of the United States Army and several individuals submitted testimony in support of this bill.  The Office of Veteran's Services submitted testimony supporting the intent of the bill.  The Director of the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Customer Services, Division of Motor Vehicle, Licensing and Permits provided comments.

 

     Your Committee finds that it is important for the State to recognize and honor our country's fallen soldiers, as well as their surviving family members.  Your Committee further finds that it is important to remind the public of the sacrifices that both our soldiers and their families make every day in defense of our country.  This measure will help accomplish both purposes.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Public Safety & Military Affairs,
