Bill > SR146

This resolution requests that each county police department in Hawaii increase enforcement efforts against out-of-state vehicles operating on public roadways without proper county registration. The resolution highlights several key concerns, including that unregistered out-of-state vehicles avoid contributing to road maintenance costs, potentially creating an unfair burden on local residents. Additionally, such vehicles may pose safety risks by potentially lacking proper vehicle inspections, insurance coverage, and adherence to safety standards. The resolution notes that the Department of Customer Services in Honolulu has seen a thirty percent decrease in out-of-state vehicle permits over the past four years, prompting increased reminders to motorists about registration requirements. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all vehicles operating on Hawaii's public roadways are properly registered and comply with state and county regulations. The resolution calls for transmitting copies of the resolution to the Chiefs of Police in each county, symbolizing an official request for increased enforcement action.
