A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to VETERANS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that currently, South Korean veterans of the Korean War are allowed to have "Veteran" status printed on their Hawaii license plates to reflect their service. The legislature further finds that the same privilege should be extended to the driver's licenses and civil identification cards of South Korean veterans of that conflict.
SECTION 2. Section 286-109, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) Upon payment of the required fee and upon demonstrating the ability to operate a certain category or categories of motor vehicles to the satisfaction of the examiner of drivers, an applicant for a driver's license shall be issued a single license of a design approved by the director of transportation upon which is made a notation of:
(1) The category or categories of motor vehicles the applicant may operate;
(2) Any restrictive provisions to which the license is subject;
(3) Veteran status, if desired by the applicant; provided that the notation shall be on the front of the license and shall not include any designation other than the term "veteran"; and
(4) When the license is issued to a person under twenty-one years of age, a statement, in clearly legible print that shall contrast with the other information appearing on the license, which indicates the date on which the person will attain the age of twenty-one years.
As used in this subsection, "veteran" [means
any person who served in any of the uniformed services of the United States and
was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.] shall have the
same meaning as in section 286-305."
SECTION 3. Section 286-305, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) The examiner of drivers, after
obtaining the fingerprint of the applicant as provided in this part and after
obtaining the information required by or pursuant to this part, shall issue to
each applicant an identification card in a form and with identifying
information that the director deems necessary and appropriate, including a
notation of veteran status, if desired by the applicant, on the front of the
card where applicable; provided that such notation shall not include any
designation other than the term "veteran". As used in this
subsection, "veteran" means any person who served in [any]:
(1) Any of the uniformed services of the United States; or
(2) The Republic of Korea armed forces during the Korean conflict,
and was discharged under conditions other than dishonorable."
SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
