RE: H.B. No. 1981

H.D. 1

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2024

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1981 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to specify that a portion of the revenues collected from traffic violations shall be disbursed to the county that enforced the violation.

Your Committee did not receive any written testimony on this measure.

Your Committee finds that disbursing a percentage of all revenue collected for traffic violations to the county that enforced the violation will greatly assist the counties in ensuring the State's roads and highways remain safe and unobstructed.

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion.

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. 1981, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1981, 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,

____________________________
