RE:    S.B. No. 2101

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Human Services and Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 2101 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FUNDING FOR PARKING FOR DISABLED PERSONS,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase the vehicle registration tax by one dollar to be deposited into the disability and communication access board special fund to cover costs of parking for persons with disabilities.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Disability and Communication Access Board, the State Council on Developmental Disabilities, the City & County of Honolulu Division of Motor Vehicle, Licensing and Permits Administration, and four individuals.  Testimony in opposition to this measure was submitted by the Department of Transportation.  Written testimony presented to the Committees may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committees find that providing parking for those in our community that are disabled is an important and essential service and that there are more people applying for such parking.  Your Committees also find that there must be additional revenue to keep up with the demand for parking for disabled persons.  Your Committees also find that the request of the City and County of Honolulu's Division of Motor Vehicle, Licensing and Permits Administration that the effective date be changed is appropriate.

 

     Accordingly, your Committees have amended the measure to change the effective date to November 1, 2010.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Human Services and Health that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2101, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2101, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Human Services and Health,
