Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 78 entitled:

The purpose of this bill is to promote public safety by making it unlawful for any person to manufacture, sell, display, permit to be displayed, or possess any reproduction, imitation, or facsimile of a license plate with a similar design, shape, size, and color as the license plates contracted to be produced by the Director of Finance of the City and County of Honolulu for the counties.
