Sir:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the
Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives
in S.B. No. 664, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:  

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SPECIAL NUMBER PLATES," 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to
recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final
passage of this bill in an amended form.

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the director of
finance to discard and allow for new applications of inactive
special number plates that have not been assigned or registered
during the preceding three years.

     Upon further consideration, your Committee on Conference has
amended this measure by:

     (1)  Making conforming amendments to section 249-9, Hawaii
          Revised Statutes;


 
a                                                     SB664 CD1

     (2)  Authorizing the county directors of finance to issue
          special number plates to organizations, establish
          application procedures, and allow the organizations to
          retain the fees collected, less expenses, for the
          special number plates.  The organization's decal shall
          be affixed to the special number plates;

     (3)  Allowing persons who served the United States in the
          military or as a civilian during the Pearl Harbor
          attack during World War II to obtain a special number
          plate;

     (4)  Clarifying that the provisions in section 249-9.3,
          Hawaii Revised Statutes, relating to the issuance of
          special number plates to organizations shall not be
          construed to apply to special number plates issued to
          military veterans pursuant to section 249-9.2, Hawaii
          Revised Statutes; and

     (5)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for
          purposes of preferred drafting style.

     Your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent
and purpose of S.B. No. 664, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein,
and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached
hereto as S.B. No. 664, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
