TWENTY-SEVENTH LEGISLATURE, 2014

H.D. 1

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTIONS.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that there is a need to upgrade the methods and procedures for state certificates of inspection for motor vehicles.  This Act reduces the amount of insurance information required on an inspection certificate.  This will reduce data entry requirements for inspectors without degrading the function of checking insurance cards.  Digital images of the cards will be stored for easy retrieval should a need for additional information arise.  In addition, this Act withdraws the opportunity to replace lost, stolen, or destroyed inspection stickers without reinspection.

     SECTION 2.  Section 286-26, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (e) to read as follows:

     "(e)  Upon application for a certificate of inspection to be issued for a vehicle, an inspection as prescribed by the director under subsection (g) shall be conducted on the vehicle, and if the vehicle is found to be in [a safe operating condition,] compliance with the inspection requirements, a certificate of inspection shall be issued upon payment of a fee to be determined by the director.  The certificate shall state the [effective date, the termination date, the name of the issuing insurance carrier, and the policy number of] insurance expiration date shown on the motor vehicle insurance identification card for the inspected motor vehicle as specified by section 431:10C-107, a certificate of self-insurance issued by the state insurance commissioner, or state the information contained in the proof of insurance card as specified by section 431:10G-106.  A validation sticker, authorized by the director, shall be affixed to the vehicle at the time a certificate of inspection is issued.  [An inspection sticker which has been lost, stolen, or destroyed shall be replaced without reinspection by the inspection station that issued the original inspection sticker upon presentation of the vehicle's current certificate of inspection; provided that the current certificate of inspection and inspection sticker shall not have expired at the time the replacement is requested.  The director shall adopt rules to determine the fee for replacement of lost, stolen, or destroyed inspection stickers.]" 

     SECTION 3.  This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun, before its effective date.

     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.
