A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO RENEWAL OF DRIVER'S LICENSES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 286-107, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended as follows:
1. By amending subsection (c) to read:
"(c) Any person who holds a category (1), (2), or
(3) license issued under this part [who is unable to appear in person before
the examiner of drivers to apply for a renewal of the driver's license,]
may[,] apply for a renewal of the driver's license online, by using
any electronic or digital means provided by the examiner of drivers, or by
mail, if the person is not disqualified from renewing the license under
subsection (a) except as provided under subsection (h)[, apply for a renewal
by mail]. The applicant's request to
have the license renewed by mail must be received by the examiner of drivers
within ninety days after the expiration of the license or it shall be treated
as an application for reactivation of an expired license under section
286-107.5. The examiner of drivers
shall, upon receipt of the request, furnish the applicant with all necessary
forms and instructions. An application
for renewal by electronic
or digital means or mail made pursuant
to this subsection shall be accompanied by a statement from a licensed
physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse
certifying that the applicant was examined by the licensed physician, physician
assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse [not] no more
than six months [prior to] before the expiration date of the
applicant's license and that the applicant was found by the examination to have
met the physical requirements established by the state director of transportation
for the renewal of licenses. The
application for renewal by electronic
or digital means or mail shall also be
accompanied by:
(1) A
notarized statement of the applicant certifying that the applicant does not
possess any valid license to operate the same or similar category or categories
of motor vehicles, issued by another licensing authority (unless the license is
concurrently surrendered); and
(2) [Such]
Any other information as may be required by the examiner of drivers that
is reasonably necessary to confirm the identity of the applicant and the
applicant's fitness to continue to operate a motor vehicle."
2. By amending subsection (f) to read:
"(f)
No driver's license shall be renewable by electronic or digital means
or mail:
(1) For
more than two consecutive renewals, regardless of whether the license expires,
as provided under section 286-106, on the eighth[,] or fourth[,
or second] birthday after issuance; or
(2) Sixteen
years have lapsed since the applicant had appeared in person;
provided
that this subsection shall not apply to a resident military person or that
person's immediate family if the resident military person resides outside the
State on official military orders."
SECTION 2. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2025.
