Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1518 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to permit towing companies to add the applicable general excise tax and county surcharge to the fees charged to the owner of a motor vehicle left unattended on private or public property without the authorization of the owner or occupant of the property.
Waialae Chevron and Tow Service and the Hawaii State Towing Association testified in support of this bill. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs opposed this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1518 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
