STAND. COM. REP. NO. 77-00

                                 Honolulu, Hawaii
                                                   , 2000

                                 RE: H.B. No. 2806




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B.
No. 2806 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO ADMINISTRATIVE REVOCATION OF
     DRIVER'S LICENSE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to amend section 286-261, Hawaii
Revised Statutes, by increasing periods of administrative
revocation for repeat offenders.

     Your Committee finds that increased driver's license
revocation periods for repeat offenders will be an effective
sanction.  

     This bill confirms that periods of administrative license
revocation are mandatory for repeat offenders.  Moreover, it
increases the periods of administrative license revocation for
repeat offenders driving under the influence of alcohol.  

     Testimonies in support of this bill were received from the
Judiciary and a concerned citizen.  The Honolulu Police
Department also voiced support for the intent of this bill.
Testimony in opposition to this bill was received from Mother's
Against Drunk Driving who favored other administrative revocation
bills introduced in the 2000 Session.

     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 H.B. No.
2806 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred
to the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs.

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



                                   ______________________________
