Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2453 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CIVIL IDENTIFICATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to consolidate the State non-driver's identification program with the driver's license program under the Department of Transportation.

 

     Specifically, this measure, among other things:

 

     (1)  Transfers the responsibility of the program for the issuance of non-driver's identification cards for the State of Hawaii from the Department of the Attorney General to the Director of Transportation; and

 

     (2)  Requires that the non-drivers' identification cards be issued by the examiner of drivers in each county.

 

     The Department of Transportation testified in support of this measure.  The Department of Human Resources Development, Department of the Attorney General, Office of Veterans Services of the Department of Defense, Department of Customer Services of the City & County of Honolulu, and Hawaii Government Employees Association, AFSCME Local 152, AFL-CIO provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying language relating to employee transfers to protect the rights and benefits of affected employees; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2453, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2453, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
