AI Summary

This bill administratively attaches the Hawaii Highway Safety and Modernization Council to the Department of Transportation, resolving an administrative support gap created by previous legislation. The bill allows council members to appoint designees to represent them, which should help address historical challenges with achieving a quorum. It updates the council's membership by modifying the list of required members, reducing the total number of appointed members from twelve to ten, and refining the categories of representatives. Key changes include removing some previous members like the superintendent of education and adding representatives from county transportation agencies. The appointed members will still represent diverse stakeholder groups such as senior citizens, active transportation riders, low-income communities, labor and construction, trucking, transportation electrification, urban forestry, and the automobile industry. The bill aims to maintain the council's purpose of reviewing the Department of Transportation's efforts, ensuring transparency, and providing guidance to help achieve state transportation goals, while making the council more flexible and operational.
