RE: H.B. No. 1267

H.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1267 entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to recognize the service and sacrifice of those veterans that served our nation in the Persian Gulf conflict by directing the Director of Finance to issue special license plates with the words "PERSIAN GULF VETERAN".

The State Department of Defense, Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu (DCS), and several individuals testified in support of the intent of the bill.

Your Committee has amended this measure by amending the effective date to October 1, 2001, to give DCS time to order the special license plates. Technical, nonsubstantive amendments were also made for purposes of clarity and style.

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 H.B. No. 1267, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1267, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

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