HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES	H.B. NO.	1053
THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE, 2019		H.D. 1
STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO STATE IDENTIFICATION CARDS.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 

     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that the state civil identification card was erroneously produced with the inscription "Hawaii Identification Card" instead of the statutorily mandated inscription of "State of Hawaii Identification Card".  The legislature further finds that many cardholders are currently carrying Hawaii civil identification cards with the erroneous inscription.  Instead of requiring these cardholders to obtain new identification cards, which would be inconvenient for the cardholders and cause long lines at the county offices that issue the cards, the legislature believes that it is more expedient, convenient, and economical to amend the statutorily mandated inscription.  The purpose of this Act is to amend the mandatory inscription for civil identification cards to conform with the inscription currently in use.

     SECTION 2.  Section 286-305, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:

     "(a)  Each identification card issued by the examiner of drivers shall display a distinguishing number assigned to the cardholder, and shall display the following inscription:

"[STATE OF] HAWAII IDENTIFICATION CARD""

     SECTION 3.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
