A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to vehicles.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 291C-111, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§291C-111
Noncompliance with stopping, standing, or parking requirements. (a)
With respect to highways under their respective jurisdictions, the
director of transportation is authorized to and the counties by ordinance may
prohibit or restrict the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles where the
stopping, standing, or parking is dangerous to those using the highway or where
the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles would interfere unduly with the
free movement of traffic; provided that the violation of any law or any
ordinance, regardless of whether established under this or any other section,
prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles shall
constitute a traffic infraction. The
counties shall not provide any other penalty, civil or criminal, or any other
charge, in the form of rental or otherwise, in place of or in addition to the
fine to be imposed by the district court for any violation of any ordinance
prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles.
This
section shall not be construed as prohibiting the authority of the director of
transportation or the counties to allow the stopping, standing, or parking of
motor vehicles at a "T-shaped" intersection on highways under their respective
jurisdictions; provided that [such] the stopping, standing, or
parking of motor vehicles is not dangerous to those using the highway or where
the stopping, standing, or parking of motor vehicles would not unduly interfere
with the free movement of traffic.
The
appropriate police department and county or prosecuting attorney of the various
counties shall enforce any law or ordinance prohibiting or restricting the
stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles, including but not limited to the
issuance of parking tickets. Any [person
committing a] registered owner of a vehicle that is in violation of
any law or ordinance, regardless of whether established under this or any other
section, prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of
vehicles shall be subject to a fine to be enforced and collected by the district
courts of this State and to be deposited into the state general fund for state
use.
(b)
The director of transportation, the counties, and owners of private
highways, with the consent of the county official responsible for traffic
control with respect to highways under their respective jurisdictions shall
place signs or curb markings that are clearly visible to an ordinarily
observant person prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking
of vehicles on the highway. [Such]
Those signs or curb markings shall be official signs and markings and no
[person] vehicle shall stop, stand, or park [any vehicle]
in violation of the restrictions stated on such signs or markings.
(c) Any [person committing a] registered
owner of a vehicle that is in violation of any law prohibiting or restricting
the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on state highways shall be
charged, in addition to any other applicable penalties and fines, a state
highway enforcement program surcharge of $200 to be enforced and collected by
the district courts and to be deposited into the state highway fund; provided
that fifty per cent of each surcharge collected shall be disbursed to the
police department of the county in which the violation occurred."
SECTION 2. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date.
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
