Bill > HB227

This bill modifies existing Hawaii law regarding vehicle and moped safety inspections by updating the fine structure for individuals operating a vehicle without a current official certificate of inspection. Specifically, the bill establishes a graduated fine system where a first offense will result in a $150 fine, and a second offense within ten years will incur a $250 fine. The bill also includes a provision suggesting an additional fine for vehicles with inspection certificates more than two years expired, though the specific amount is not specified in the text. The law applies to anyone who operates, permits operation of, causes to be operated, or parks a vehicle or moped on a public highway without a current inspection certificate. The changes will take effect on July 1, 3000, and the bill ensures that any rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that existed before the effective date will not be affected by this new legislation.
