STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1167

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 458

H.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 458, H.D. 1, entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to extend the driver's license renewal period from two years to four years for licensees who are between the ages of seventy-two and eighty.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation and six individuals.

Your Committee finds that there is no local data to indicate that drivers between the ages of seventy-two and seventy-nine years old are at a higher risk of causing or being involved in traffic accidents. This measure will allow drivers over the age of seventy-two to renew their driver's license every four years rather than every other year.

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. 458, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary.

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

________________________________
