Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ABANDONED MOTOR VEHICLES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the counties to
establish by ordinance, an additional motor vehicle fee to be
used and administered by each county for:

     (1)  Beautification and other related highway activities
          under county jurisdiction; and

     (2)  Defraying the additional cost of disposition and other
          related activities of abandoned and derelict vehicles.

     A member of the Kauai County Council testified in support of
the measure.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No.
