Your Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 107 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO RENEWAL OF DRIVER'S LICENSES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to authorize the renewal of driver's licenses online, through electronic or digital means.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation, Department of Customer Services of the City and County of Honolulu, and three individuals.

Your Committee finds that this measure would make the driver's license renewal process easier and more efficient for persons who hold certain categories of driver's licenses.

Your Committee has amended this measure by:

(1) Requiring driver's license renewals by electronic or digital means to be accompanied by the same documentation related to medical examinations, notarized statements, and other information that are required for renewals by mail;

(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2025; and

(3) 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. 107, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 107, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

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