H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.B. No. 1378, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Specify that chassis used by businesses for transporting shipping containers are exempt from the requirement to keep a certificate of registration within the chassis; and

(2) Authorize these businesses to keep the original certificate of registration, motor vehicle identification card, certificate of insurance, and certificate of inspection available for inspection at their principal place of business within the State.

Matson and the Hawaii Transportation Association testified in support of this measure.

Your Committee has amended this measure by clarifying that the owners of chassis used for transporting shipping containers shall not be required to keep the original or a copy of the certificate of registration, motor carrier vehicle identification card, certificate of insurance, and certificate of inspection on the chassis.

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. 1378, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1378, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.

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