A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to mopeds.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 249-14.1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (b) and (c) to read as follows:
"(b) The director of finance shall number and
register the moped in the owner's name in a permanent record or book to be kept
by the director of finance for this purpose, and shall furnish the owner
thereof with a receipt showing upon its face the license number issued for the
moped. The registration of mopeds shall
occur on a staggered basis as agreed upon by the counties' director of
finance. The registration fee shall [be
$27] not exceed $100 per year[.], as determined by the
counties' director of finance. The
director of finance shall also furnish the owner, upon the original
registration of the moped, one plate with the registration number marked
thereon. Upon the payment of a
registration fee for each year, a tag or emblem bearing a serial number and the
month and year of expiration shall be provided to the owner. Transfer of current number plates, tag, or
emblem, except as authorized by this chapter, is punishable by a fine of [not]
no more than [$50] $100 for each offense.
(c)
Upon an original registration the director of finance shall fix, and
shall charge to the owner, a fee equal to the cost of the number plate and tag
or emblem plus the administrative cost of furnishing the plate and tag or
emblem and effecting the registration.
Upon the issuance of a new series of number plates, the director of
finance shall charge the owner a fee equal to the costs of the number plate
plus the administrative cost of furnishing the plate. Upon issuing a tag or emblem, the director of
finance shall charge the owner a fee [of 50 cents.] no more than $20. The owner shall securely fasten the number
plate on the rear of the moped at a location provided by the manufacturer or in
the absence of such a location upon the fender of the moped and in conformance
with section 291-31, in [such] a manner as to prevent the plate from
swinging. The number plate shall at all
times be displayed entirely unobscured and be kept reasonably clean."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
