Bill > SB95

This bill modifies Hawaii's existing vehicle inspection law by establishing a tiered fine structure for operating a vehicle or moped without a current official certificate of inspection. Specifically, the bill increases penalties from a flat $100 fine to a graduated system where drivers will be fined $100 for a first offense and $200 for a second offense within ten years. The bill also includes a provision for a potential additional fine for vehicles with inspection certificates that are more than two years expired, though the specific amount is not specified in the text (the bill appears to have an omitted dollar amount). The purpose of these increased fines is likely to encourage vehicle owners to maintain current safety inspections and ensure that vehicles on public highways meet safety standards. The changes will take effect immediately upon the bill's approval, providing a more stringent approach to enforcing vehicle inspection requirements in Hawaii.
