RE: S.B. No. 2968
S.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.B. No. 2968, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs testified in support of the intent of this measure.
Driver safety courses and driver improvement courses allow operators of motor vehicles to gain increased knowledge in the safe operation and handling of a motor vehicle under numerous conditions, including emergency conditions. Taking these courses often results in increasing the skill level of the everyday motorist. Allowing insurance companies to offer premium discounts to individuals who complete such courses is a means of incentivizing participation in these courses and thus improving highway safety.
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 S.B. No. 2968, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
