STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1825
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: H.B. No. 1107
H.D. 2
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1107, H.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE WEIGHT LIMITS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to make state law consistent with federal law regarding legal limits for gross vehicle weights, axle loads, and wheel loads traveling on all public roadways.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.
Your Committee finds that it is in the State's interest to preserve its roadways and bridge infrastructures. Therefore, there should be clear weight limits on commercial vehicles in the State. This measure will simplify the definition of legal vehicle weights for commercial vehicles and apply it uniformly across the State.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1107, H.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,
