Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2004

RE: S.B. No. 2022

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2022 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DUNE BUGGIES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the issuance of a state vehicle identification number for dune buggy replica vehicles as special interest vehicles for use on public roadways.

Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Volkswagen Club of Hawaii and one individual. Testimony in opposition was received from the Department of Transportation and the City and County of Honolulu Department of Customer Services.

This measure defines "dune buggy replica" vehicle and establishes registration standards and seat belt requirements necessary for licensing dune buggy replica vehicles as special interest vehicles for use on public roads.

Your Committee finds that dune buggy replica vehicles should be licensed for use on public roadways, in addition to street rod vehicles, which are currently authorized by law.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2022 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation, Military Affairs, and Government Operations,
