RE:    S.B. No. 1166

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1166, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE RENEWAL OF DRIVER'S LICENSES,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to allow for the renewal of driver's licenses by mail or online.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from three individuals.

 

     Your Committee received written comments on this measure from the City and County of Honolulu Department of Customer Services.

 

     Your Committee finds that allowing driver's licenses to be renewed online will make renewal more convenient and reduce wait times at satellite city halls.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying that online renewal applicants are required to provide a medical statement, notarized statement, and other information to confirm the applicant's identity, as recommended in written comments from the City and County of Honolulu Department of Customer Services; and

 

     (2)  Making technical nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, 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. 1166, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1166, S.D. 2.

 

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