RE:    S.B. No. 123

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 123 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the operation of antique motor vehicles on the highways for specified purposes.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.  Testimony in opposition was received from the Honolulu Division of Motor Vehicle & Licensing Division of Motor Vehicle.  Comments were received from the Department of Taxation and the Department of Transportation.

 

     This measure would allow the operation of antique motor vehicles on the highways of the State for the purpose of:

 

     (1)  Participation in club activities, exhibits, tours, parades, and similar events including transportation to and from the events;

 

     (2)  Testing operation or obtaining repairs or maintenance; or

 

     (3)  Occasional pleasure driving not exceeding unspecified miles from the residence of the owner.

 

     Your Committee finds that the operation of antique motor vehicles is increasingly popular.  Your Committee further finds that antique motor vehicles should pay the same motor vehicle weight taxes as other vehicles.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Requiring antique motor vehicle owners to pay the same motor vehicle annual weight tax as other motor vehicles; and

 

     (2)  To restrict the operation of antique motor vehicles to within twenty miles of the residence of the owner.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 123, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 123, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs,
