STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2464

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 2757

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2757, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to extend the term of a commercial driver's license for persons twenty-one years through seventy-one years of age from six years to eight years.

 

Your Committee finds that this measure is needed to prepare for the federal REAL ID Act, which is a nationwide effort to improve the integrity and security of state-issued driver licenses and identification cards to help fight terrorism and reduce fraud.  This measure will also achieve greater consistency between the various identification cards and licenses in the State.

 

     Your Committee received comments in support of the measure from the Department of Transportation and the City and County of Honolulu's Division of Motor Vehicles, Licensing and Permits Administration.  The written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to September 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. 2757, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2757, S.D. 2.

 

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