STAND. COM. REP. NO. 744

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 1030

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1030, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to exempt marine terminal equipment temporarily moving between Sand Island Parkway and Sand Island Access Road from vehicle registration, safety inspection, and driver licensure requirements.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation, Maritime Group LLC, and Matson.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure promotes operational efficiencies at the harbors by streamlining existing processes to allow marine equipment the ability to move between terminals and by affording harbor users the ability to re-allocate resources as needed.  Your Committee further finds that impact on vehicular traffic activity will be limited by applying this exemption only to the area between Sand Island Parkway and Sand Island Access Road.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of consistency, clarity, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1030, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1030, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
