COM. REP. NO. 1116-20
Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.B. No. 2166
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirtieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2020
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.B. No. 2166, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC SAFETY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that increased traffic on the road to Hana, Maui, has led to unsafe driving conditions when the lead vehicle is moving slowly, causing a back-up of vehicles, and traffic moving in the opposite direction makes it unsafe for the vehicles to pass. This measure promotes traffic safety on roadways, such as Hana Highway, by requiring drivers of lead vehicles on certain roadways to use turnouts and allow vehicles to pass under certain circumstances.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2166, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2166, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
