Honolulu, Hawaii

RE:   H.B. No. 2601

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 2601 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to conform state commercial motor vehicle disqualification and cancelation requirements with federal commercial driver licensing laws.

 

     The Department of Transportation and Hawaii Transportation Association testified in support of this bill.

 

     Your Committee notes that if the state's statutes remain incompatible with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, the state could lose approximately $4,500,000 (or five percent) of federal-aid highway funds for the first year of non-compliance and approximately $9,100,000 (or ten percent) per year thereafter.  Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program grant funds could also be withheld.

 

     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. 2601 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

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