RE:   H.B. No. 2604

      H.D. 2

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2604, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to improve the integrity and security of State-issued driver licenses and identification cards by aligning State law with the requirements of the REAL ID Act.  Specifically, this bill extends the maximum term of a commercial driver's license (CDL) from six years to eight years for persons 21 years through 71 years of age.

 

     This bill also appropriates $8,000 out of the State Highway Fund to implement the extension.

 

     The Department of Transportation and Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu testified in support of this bill.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Changing the appropriation of $8,000 out of the State Highway Fund for the implementation of the extension of CDLs to an unspecified amount;

 

     (2)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (3)  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. 2604, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2604, H.D. 2.

 

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