RE: S.B. No. 2735
S.D. 1
H.D. 2
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred S.B. No. 2735, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER LICENSING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to require:
(1) The Examiner of Drivers to test applicants for driver's licenses on the applicant's knowledge of the dangers posed by larger motor vehicles, including trucks, to pedestrians and bicyclists; and
(2) Persons who commit the offense of excessive speeding or habitually operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant to retake and pass a driver's license examination for each offense.
Your Committee finds that this measure will reduce motor vehicle fatalities and injuries by requiring persons who engage in dangerous driving behavior to retake and pass the driver's license examination. This measure will also increase education and awareness about the potential hazards of driving larger motor vehicles by requiring it to be tested on driver's license examinations.
Your Committee has amended this measure by 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 S.B. No. 2735, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2735, S.D. 1, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs,
