RE: H.B. No. 1109

H.D. 2

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1109, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL DRIVER LICENSING,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to meet federal requirements on fraudulent activity relating to commercial leaner's permits and commercial driver's licenses.

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

Your Committee finds that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, pursuant to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations section 383.73(k)(2), requires the Department of Transportation to have policies in place that result, at minimum, in the disqualification of the commercial learner's permit or commercial driver's license, as applicable, for applicants suspected of fraud related to the testing and issuance of that permit or license.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Changing the effective date to upon approval; and

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

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1109, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1109, H.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
