STAND. COM. REP. NO. 756

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 210

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 210 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF BICYCLES AND MOPEDS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to exempt, from the fee for a new certificate of bicycle or moped registration, any bicycle or moped gifted within ninety days of issuance of the original certificate of registration.

 

     Your Committee finds that current law requires the purchaser of a bicycle or moped to pay a registration fee upon purchase of the bicycle or moped.  If the bicycle or moped is then gifted to another, the recipient is required to re-register the bicycle or moped under the recipient's name and pay the applicable transfer of registration fee.  This measure will exempt the recipient of a gifted bicycle or moped from payment of a second registration fee if the bicycle or moped is gifted within ninety days of purchase.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying that the transferee shall not be subject to the registration fee; and

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 210, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 210, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
