Bill Summary

Requires all applicants for a motorcycle instruction permit to successfully complete a basic motorcycle rider course approved by the Department of Transportation. Clarifies that a person shall not operate a motor vehicle in connection with the driving training course without a valid temporary instruction permit unless it is a motorcycle that is being used for training purposes on an enclosed state certified training range. (CD1)

AI Summary

This bill amends Hawaii's motorcycle instruction permit requirements to mandate that all applicants must successfully complete a basic motorcycle rider course approved by the Department of Transportation before being eligible to receive a permit. The legislation adds a new provision requiring proof of course completion as a prerequisite for obtaining a motorcycle instruction permit, which was not previously mandated. Additionally, the bill clarifies that individuals can now operate a motorcycle for training purposes on an enclosed state-certified training range without a temporary instruction permit, which expands previous restrictions on vehicle operation during driver training. The bill aims to enhance motorcycle safety by ensuring that new riders receive standardized, professional motorcycle training before being allowed to operate a motorcycle on public roads. The new requirements will apply only to applicants who submit their motorcycle instruction permit applications after the bill's effective date, thereby providing a transition period for those already in the application process.
