RE: H.B. No. 2790
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2790 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHWAY SAFETY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to protect public health, safety, and welfare by promoting traffic safety. Among other things, this bill establishes a photo red light imaging detector systems program to improve enforcement of traffic-signal laws by:
(1) Enabling county implementation of photo red light imaging detector system programs;
(2) Authorizing the deposit of fines collected under county-administered programs into a general fund account; and
(3) Authorizing the expenditure of funds from this general fund account in the county in which the fine was collected for the establishment, operation, management, and maintenance of a photo red light imaging detector systems program.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving HAWAII, Hawaii Bicycling League, State Highway Safety Council, and four concerned individuals testified in support of this measure. The Office of the Public Defender and a concerned individual testified in opposition to this measure. The Department of Budget and Finance and Office of Information Practices provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing the effective date of the appropriation for the establishment of the photo red light imaging detector systems program to January 7, 2059, to continue 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 Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2790, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2790, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
