Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2422, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE INSPECTIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to increase the time period between mandatory safety inspections from six months to one year for certain vehicles that require such an inspection.

The Hawaii Transportation Association, Department of Transportation, Hawaiian Electric Company, Maui Electric Company, Hawaii Electric Light Company, and Catrala Hawaii testified in support of this measure. The Division of Motor Vehicles of the City and County of Honolulu opposed this measure.

Your Committee has amended this bill by:

(2) Removing buses operated by persons or entities not subject to chapter 271, HRS, from the one-year inspection requirement;

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2422, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2422, S.D. 2, H.D. 2.

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