STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2564
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2614
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2614 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO EXCESSIVE SPEEDING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to authorize the court, in its discretion, to order forfeiture of a defendant's vehicle if the defendant is in violation of the offense of excessive speeding and the vehicle was used in the commission of at least two prior excessive speeding convictions.
Your Committee is aware that numerous community concerns have been raised regarding drivers who operate their vehicles at unsafe speeds and endanger the lives of fellow motorists and pedestrians. The consequences of excessive speeding can be particularly egregious. Clearly, forfeiture of a repeat offender's vehicle will help to deter the offender from continuing to drive at excessive speeds.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2614 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
