STAND. COM. REP. NO. 279-10
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2010
RE: H.B. No. 2606
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. 2606 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER LICENSING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to clarify that category 4 motor vehicles do not include commercial motor vehicles.
The Department of Transportation and the Hawaii Transportation Association supported this bill.
Your Committee notes that this measure will better inform the driving public about the differences between the licensing categories. Operators of category 4 motor vehicles are not required to hold commercial drivers' licenses and are not subject to federal disqualifications that apply to a person holding a commercial driver's license or operating a commercial motor vehicle. This bill is intended to bring greater clarity and consistency when dealing with federal regulations regarding commercial drivers' licenses and other types of driving licenses.
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. 2606 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,
|
