Bill > SB95

This bill modifies Hawaii's existing vehicle safety laws by updating the fine structure for operating a vehicle or moped without a current certificate of inspection. Specifically, the bill introduces a graduated fine system where drivers will be fined $100 for a first offense and $200 for a second offense within a ten-year period. The bill also includes a provision suggesting an additional fine amount for vehicles with inspection certificates more than two years expired, though the exact fine amount is not specified in the provided text (there appears to be a blank space where the amount should be). A certificate of inspection is an official document verifying that a vehicle meets certain safety and operational standards, and this bill aims to encourage more timely vehicle inspections by increasing financial penalties for non-compliance. The changes will take effect immediately upon the bill's approval, and the bill represents an effort to improve road safety by ensuring vehicles are regularly and properly inspected.
