     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred S.B. No. 233, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to improve the process for the registration of used vehicles sold through a car dealership or motor vehicle rental company by allowing the Directors of Finance of each county to enter into contracts with car dealerships and motor vehicle rental companies to register used vehicles, in the same manner that new vehicles are registered.

The Hawaii Automobile Dealers' Association testified in support of this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2015.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 233, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 233, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
