Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.B.
No. 1534, S.D. 1, entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LICENSE PLATES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to acknowledge those who served
the United States at the time of the December 7, 1941 attack on
Pearl Harbor.

     Your Committee on Transportation finds that those who did
serve the United States during the attack on Pearl Harbor should
be recognized for their actions, regardless of whether or not
they were enlisted in the military at the time.

     This bill proposes to allow the issuance of special license
plates for those civilians providing service to the United
States, on Oahu, or offshore at a distance of not more than three
miles at the time of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

     Testimony in support of the intent of this bill was received
from a civilian who served during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The Department of Customer Services of the City and County of
Honolulu has no objection to this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by including changes to
Section 249-9.3, Hawaii Revised Statutes.  These changes

establish standards and qualifications that organizations must
meet in order to obtain special license plates.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
1534, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass
Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1534, S.D.
1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Transportation,



                                   ______________________________
                                   KENNETH T. HIRAKI, Chair
