RE:   H.B. No. 2003

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2003 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to amend the documentation requirements for requests for permits that authorize a person whose license was judicially revoked for the offense of operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant to operate an employer's vehicle as a mandatory part of work during the period of license revocation.  Specifically, this measure allows an employer's sworn statement to include the period of the specified assigned hours of work that the person will drive the vehicle for purposes of employment.

 

     The Hawaii Fire Fighters Association, Local 1463, IAFF, AFL-CIO testified in support of this measure.  The Department of Transportation provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Making substantially similar amendments to the documentation requirements for requests for permits that authorize a person whose license was administratively revoked to operate an employer's vehicle during the period of license revocation;

 

     (2)  Making additional conforming amendments; and

 

     (3)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion.

 

     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. 2003, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2003, H.D. 1.

 

 

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