Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1107 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE WEIGHT LIMITS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make state law consistent with federal law regarding legal limits for gross vehicle weight and axle loads traveling on all public roadways.

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

Your Committee finds that this measure will simplify the definition of legal vehicle weights for commercial vehicles and apply uniformly across the state.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to June 30, 3000, to encourage further discussion; and

(2) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

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. 1107, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1107, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs.

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