                                   RE:  S.B. No. 3008
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 3008 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC RECORDS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of the measure is to provide for automatic
expungement of traffic record violations where a driver is
charged with a violation and later found to be innocent.  

     Testimony in support of the measure was received by a
citizen.  Testimony was received from the Judiciary who took no
position but offered comments, and testimony was received from
the Prosecuting Attorney of the City and County of Honolulu who
neither supported or opposed the measure but made technical
suggestions.

     Your Committee finds that this measure attempts to address
the concerns of having a blemished driving record by individuals
who are charged with a traffic violation and later found not
guilty.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs that is
attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the
intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3008 and recommends that it pass
Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
