Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2142

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2142 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CIVIL IDENTIFICATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow an applicant for a state identification card to present an official Matricula Consular Identification card issued under the authority of the country of Argentina to fulfill the information requirements for obtaining the state identification card.

 

     The State Attorney General orally testified in opposition to this measure. 

 

     A Matricula Consular Identification card is the official identification card issued by Argentina.  Your Committee believes that, in the interests of international comity, Hawai‘i should accept the Matricula Consular Identification card issued by Argentina for limited purposes.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by clarifying that a Matricula Consular Identification card issued by Argentina is acceptable as verification of name, date of birth, and place of birth when applying for a state identification card.

 

     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. 2142, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2142, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations.

 

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