Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Cornrrtittee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs, to which was
referred H.R. No. 29 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING EACH COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
INCREASE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST OUT-OF-STATE VEHICLES OPERATING
ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY REGISTERED IN
THE APPROPRIATE COUNTY,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is that each county police
department is requested to increase enforcement against out-of—
state vehicles operating on public roadways that have not been
properly registered in the approp~iate county.
Your Committee received testimony in support for this measure
from the Department of Transportation.
Your Committee finds that enforcement against out-of-state
vehicles operating without proper registration ensures compliance
with safety and environmental standards. It promotes fairness,
protects local revenue, and maintains road safety, while
encouraging visitors to respect local regulations, ultimately
benefiting public infrastructure, and equitably supporting
residents and communities.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this
