Bill Summary
Authorizes the issuance of special number plates for members of the Hawaii Civil Air Patrol. Effective 7/1/3000. (HD1)
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the creation and issuance of special license plates, referred to as "special number plates," for members of the Hawaii Civil Air Patrol, a volunteer organization that assists with emergency services and disaster response. The purpose of these plates is to make Civil Air Patrol members more easily identifiable to law enforcement and other first responders, potentially aiding their passage through restricted areas during emergencies. The plates will be designed with the words "HAWAII CIVIL AIR PATROL" and will be assigned to non-commercial vehicles registered to qualified applicants, with provisions for their transfer or retention as a memorial. The director of finance is tasked with authorizing the design and establishing rules for these plates, which will become effective on July 1, 3000.
