RE: S.R. No. 146
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs and
Public Safety and Military Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No.
146 entitled:
"SENATE 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,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request 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.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from one individual.
Your Committees find that existing law requires the owner of
an out-of-state vehicle to either register their vehicle with the
appropriate county or obtain a permit that allows the out-of-state
registration and license plate to remain valid until they expire.
Your Committees note that out-of-state vehicles operating on
public roadways avoid contributing to the costs associated with
maintaining those public roadways and may also pose risks that can
jeopardize the well-being of all those who use public roadways.
This measure seeks to ensure that all vehicles.operating on public

roadways comply with state and county regulations, including those
relating to vehicle registration.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs and Public
Safety and Military Affairs that are attached to this report, your
Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 146 and
recommend its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committees on Energy and
Intergovernmental Affairs and
Public Safety and Military
Affairs,
