                                   RE:  S.B. No. 3121
                                        S.D. 1




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

Sir:

     Your Committees on Transportation and Intergovernmental
Affairs and Labor and Environment, to which was referred S.B.
No. 3121 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ALTERNATE FUELED VEHICLES,"

beg leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this measure is to require the Department of
Transportation to adopt rules for the registration of alternate
fueled vehicles.

     Testimony in support of this measure was received from the
Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism,
Honolulu Clean Cities Coalition, and The Gas Company.

     Your Committees find that this measure will promote consumer
acceptance and greater reliance on vehicles that utilize
alternate fuel as a source of energy.

     Your Committees have amended the measure by deleting the
proposed exemptions from requirements applicable to conventional
vehicles, and the registration and fee waivers. 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Transportation and Intergovernmental Affairs and
Labor and Environment that are attached to this report, your
Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B.
No. 3121, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second

 
a                                                     SB3121 SD1

Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3121, S.D. 1, and
be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committees on Transportation
                                   and Intergovernmental Affairs
                                   and Labor and Environment,
