A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to motor vehicle registration.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 286, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part III to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§286- Former
military vehicles. (a) Any person who is the owner of a former
military vehicle that is to be operated upon the public highways may apply for
registration with the director of finance of the county in which the former
military vehicle is to be operated.
(b) If a former military vehicle registered pursuant
to subsection (a) is moved to another county and is to be operated upon the
public highways of that county, the certificate of registration shall be valid
until its expiration date, at which time the owner shall apply to the director
of finance of the county in which the former military vehicle is then located
for the registration of the former military vehicle; provided that registration
in a county to which a former military vehicle is moved shall not be required for
a former military vehicle that is temporarily transferred to that county for not
more than three months.
(c) A former military vehicle may be used in the same
manner as any other vehicle of the same type that is used to transport:
(1) The owner's own property where the transportation is in furtherance of a primary business purpose or enterprise of that owner; or
(2) Passengers, without charge, when operated by the owner, where the transportation is provided in conjunction with and in furtherance of a related primary business purpose or enterprise of that owner;
provided that transportation under this subsection
is limited to transportation directly to and from the place of business of the
owner.
(d) A former military vehicle shall not:
(1) Be used for hire for the transportation of persons or transportation of property; provided that "transportation of persons" and "transportation of property" shall have the same meaning as in section 271-4; or
(2) Carry material
weighing more than five hundred pounds, not including the weight of any:
(A) Camper, lid, or cap that is mounted on the former military vehicle;
(B) Trailer
or load drawn by the former military vehicle; or
(C) Person
riding within the driver's compartment.
(e) As used in this section, "former military vehicle" means a vehicle no less than twenty-five years old and that is:
(1) A high-mobility, all-terrain, four- or six-wheel drive vehicle originally manufactured for military use and commonly known by the trade name "Pinzgauer";
(2) A vehicle commonly known by the name "Kaiser Jeep M715";
(3) A high-mobility
multipurpose wheeled vehicle originally manufactured for use by United States
military forces and commonly known by the name "Humvee"; or
(4) A six-wheel drive utility vehicle originally manufactured for use by United States military forces during World War II, known by the acronym of "DUKW" and commonly referred to by the name "Duck"."
SECTION 2. Section 286-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
1. By adding two new definitions to be appropriately inserted and to read:
""Collector" means an owner of one or more special interest vehicles, including parts vehicles, who collects, purchases, acquires, trades, or disposes of a vehicle or its parts, for the owner's own use, or to preserve, restore, and maintain a vehicle for hobby or historical purposes.
"Parts vehicle" means a vehicle that is owned by a collector to furnish parts for the restoration or maintenance of a special interest vehicle."
2. By amending the definition of "special interest vehicle" to read:
""Special interest
vehicle" means a vehicle of any age that, because of its significance, is
being collected, preserved, restored, or maintained by a collector. The term includes a street rod vehicle and a
street rod replica vehicle, as those terms are defined in section 286-26.5; a
vehicle manufactured before 1968; [and] a vehicle manufactured after
1967 to resemble a vehicle manufactured before 1968[.]; and a former
military vehicle as defined in section 286-
."
SECTION 3. Section 286-26.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending its title and subsection (a) to read as follows:
"§286-26.5 Special interest vehicles[.];
street rod replica vehicles; street rod vehicles. (a)
As used in this section:
"Collector" [means an
owner of one or more vehicles, including parts vehicles, who collects,
purchases, acquires, trades, or disposes of a vehicle or its parts, for the
owner's own use, to preserve, restore, and maintain the vehicle or another
vehicle for hobby or historical purposes.] shall have the same meaning
as in section 286-2.
"Parts vehicle" [means
a vehicle that is owned by a collector to furnish parts for the restoration or
maintenance of a special interest vehicle.] shall have the same meaning
as in section 286-2.
"Street rod replica vehicle" means a vehicle that was assembled from a manufactured kit, either as:
(1) A complete kit to construct a new vehicle consisting of a prefabricated body and chassis;
(2) Components manufactured before 1968; or
(3) Components manufactured after 1967 to resemble a vehicle manufactured before 1968;
and that has been modified in its body style or design through the use of nonoriginal or reproduction components, such as the frame, engine, drive train, suspension, or brakes, in a manner that does not adversely affect its safe performance as a motor vehicle or render the vehicle unlawful for use on public highways.
"Street rod vehicle" means a vehicle that was:
(1) Manufactured before 1968; or
(2) Manufactured after 1967 to resemble a vehicle manufactured before 1968;
and that has been modified in its body style or design through the use of nonoriginal or reproduction components, such as the frame, engine, drive train, suspension, or brakes, in a manner that does not adversely affect its safe performance as a motor vehicle or render the vehicle unlawful for use on public highways. The term does not include a motorcycle, an antique vehicle, or a restored vehicle."
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.
