STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2421

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2455

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred S.B. No. 2455, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE SUN SCREENING DEVICES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to provide an exemption from the regulation of motor vehicle sun screening devices for transparent sun screening materials applied to the AS-1 portion of the windshield in compliance with federal law.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the City and County of Honolulu, the Hawaii Business League, and T&T Tinting Specialists, Inc.  Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure updates current law to conform with new technologies that reduce 99.9 per cent of the ultraviolet light spectrum and almost half of the heat without reducing light transmission below the federal minimum standard of seventy per cent visible light transmission.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive changes to ensure clarity and accuracy in the language of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2455, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2455, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
