AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution urges the counties, which are the local government entities responsible for administering motor vehicle registration in Hawaii, to create a payment option allowing residents to pay their motor vehicle registration taxes and fees in two installments per year instead of all at once, a process referred to as "pro-rated biannual basis." Additionally, the resolution asks the counties to explore the possibility of establishing a temporary suspension, or "moratorium," on these taxes and fees, similar to measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic for other essential payments, recognizing that transportation costs are a significant financial burden for many residents, especially those with lower incomes.
