RE: H.B. No. 831
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 Consumer Protection and Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 831 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INTERISLAND VEHICLE TRANSFERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to reduce the administrative burden of shipping a motor vehicle interisland, while providing law enforcement agencies and financial institutions the means of obtaining information on the shipped vehicle by:
Testimony in support of this bill was received from Young Brothers Limited. The Hawaii Bankers Association offered testimony that did not oppose the passage of the bill. Testimony in opposition to the bill was received from the Honolulu Police Department.
Your Committee finds that as currently written the statutes impose a heavy burden on a carrier when shipping a motor vehicle interisland. The proposed changes will ease this burden and facilitate the investigation of thefts of motor vehicles, by requiring carriers to physically inspect the vehicle identification number and maintain the record of the vehicle transport for not less than three years.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 831, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 831, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce,
