A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO HIGHWAY BEAUTIFICATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 286-51, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (b) to read as follows:
"(b) This part shall be administered by the director of finance in conjunction with the requirements of sections 249-1 to 249-13 and shall entail no additional expense or charge to the person registering the ownership of a motor vehicle other than as provided by this section or by other laws; provided that for each new certificate of ownership issued by the director of finance under section 286-52, the director of finance may charge a fee which shall be deposited in the general fund. The fees charged to issue a new certificate of ownership shall be established by the county's legislative body.
Notwithstanding
any other law to the contrary, an additional fee of [not more than $1 for
each certificate of registration for a U-drive motor vehicle and] $2 for
each certificate of registration for all [other] motor vehicles may be
established by ordinance and collected annually by the director of finance of
each county, to be used and administered by each county:
(1) For the purpose of beautification and other related activities of highways under the ownership, control, and jurisdiction of each county; and
(2) To defray the additional cost in the
disposition and other related activities of abandoned or derelict vehicles as [prescribed
in] required by chapter 290. For
the purposes of this paragraph, other related activities shall include but need
not be limited to any and all storage fees that are negotiated between each
county and a towing company contracted by the county to remove and dispose of
abandoned or derelict vehicles.
The $2 fee established pursuant to this subsection
for certificates of registration for all motor vehicles [other than
U-drive motor vehicles] may be increased by ordinance up to a maximum of
$10; provided that all amounts received from any fee increase over $2 shall be
expended only for the purposes of paragraph (2). The moneys [so] assessed and collected
shall be placed in a revolving fund entitled, "the highway beautification
and disposal of abandoned or derelict vehicles revolving fund"."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
