A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO highway safety.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 286-107, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (b) and (c) to read as follows:
"(b) Except as otherwise provided in
subsection (c), an applicant for a renewal of a driver's license under this
section, or the reactivation of an expired license under section 286-107.5(a),
shall appear in person before the examiner of drivers and the examiner of
drivers shall administer such physical examinations as the state director of
transportation deems necessary to determine the applicant's fitness to continue
to operate a motor vehicle[.]; provided that for an applicant who is eighty-five
years of age or older at the time of renewal or reactivation, the examination
shall include the actual demonstration of ability to exercise ordinary and
reasonable control in the operation of a motor vehicle.
(c) Any person who holds a category (1), (2),
or (3) license issued under this part who is unable to appear in person before
the examiner of drivers to apply for a renewal of the driver's license, may[,
if the person is not disqualified from renewing the license under subsection
(a) except as provided under subsection (h), apply for a renewal by mail.] apply
for renewal by mail; provided that the person is not disqualified from renewing
the license under subsection (a); provided further that the person is not eighty-five
years of age or older at the time of renewal. The applicant's request to
have the license renewed by mail must be received by the examiner of drivers
within ninety days after the expiration of the license or it shall be treated
as an application for reactivation of an expired license under section
286-107.5. The examiner of drivers [shall], upon receipt of the
request, shall furnish the applicant with all necessary forms and
instructions. An application for renewal made pursuant to this subsection
shall be accompanied by a statement from a licensed physician certifying that
the applicant was examined by the licensed physician not more than six months
prior to the expiration date of the applicant's license and that the applicant
was found by [such] the examination to have met the physical
requirements established by the state director of transportation for the
renewal of licenses. The application for renewal shall also be accompanied by:
(1) A notarized statement of the applicant certifying that the applicant does not possess any valid license to operate the same or similar category or categories of motor vehicles, issued by another licensing authority (unless such license is concurrently surrendered); and
(2) Such other information as may be required by the examiner of drivers that is reasonably necessary to confirm the identity of the applicant and the applicant's fitness to continue to operate a motor vehicle."
SECTION 2. Section 286-107.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the title and subsection (a) to read as follows:
"[[]§286-107.5[]]
Reactivation of expired license; fees; road test waived. (a) Unless
revoked or suspended, and except as provided in subsection (b), all drivers'
licenses expired under section 286-106 may be reactivated by the licensee in
accordance with the requirements and procedures set forth for the renewal of
licenses under section 286-107(b). No person seeking reactivation of an
expired license under this subsection shall be required to undergo
reexamination of the person's driving skills under section 286-108[.],
except as provided under section 286-107(b) for persons who are eighty-five
years of age or older. The examiner of drivers shall require the holder of
an expired license to pay a reactivation fee of $5 for each thirty-day period,
or fraction thereof, that has elapsed after the ninety-day grace period."
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.
