SECTION 1. Section 286-47, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§286-47 Certificate of registration;

Upon the registration of a vehicle, the director of finance shall issue
a certificate of registration to the owner and a certificate of ownership to
the legal owner, or to a dealer who shall be a person licensed to sell new
motor vehicles under chapter 437 [which]. The certificates shall meet the following
requirements:
(1) Both the certificate of registration and the
certificate of ownership shall contain upon the face thereof, the date issued,
the registration number assigned to the owner and to the vehicle, the name and
address of the owner and legal owner in typewriting, also [such] the
description of the registered vehicle as may be determined by the director of
finance. If any of the information
subsequently proves to be a typographical error, the dealer, as defined in
section 437-1.1, shall notify the director of finance of the error by a written
certificate stating the reasons for and nature of the error and the correction
[which] that should be made in the certificate of registration
and the certificate of ownership. Upon
receipt of the dealer's certificate by the director of finance, the certificate
of registration and the certificate of ownership shall be corrected accordingly

originally registered. A fee shall be
paid to the director of finance for each instance of correction of the
registration records. The fee charged
for each instance of correction of the registration records shall be
established by the county's legislative body;
(2) In addition to the requirements provided for
in paragraph (1) above, the face of the certificate of ownership shall contain
endorsement lines for the transfer of title or interest of the registered owner
and legal owner, and the odometer reading of the vehicle on the date of
transfer. The reverse side of the
certificate of ownership shall contain the application for registration by the
transferee; and
(3) (A) Every
owner shall keep the certificate of registration within the vehicle for which
it is registered and shall present the same at the request of a police officer,
or [in the event] if the vehicle is a motorcycle, shall carry [such]
the certificate in a convenient receptacle attached to the vehicle and [which]
shall be presented at the request of a police officer;
(B) This shall not apply to state or county
vehicles readily identified by the license plates and markings on sides of [such]
those vehicles;
(C) This shall not apply to commercial vehicles
defined as rental motor vehicles, or cars shipped by licensed car dealerships
or repossession companies. These
businesses may keep a duplicate copy of the certificate of registration within
the vehicle for which it is registered, in which case the certificate of
registration shall be available for inspection at their principal place of
business within the State; [and]
(D) This requirement to carry the certificate of registration
with the vehicle shall not apply when [such] the certificate is
removed from the vehicle for the purpose of application for renewal, transfer
of registration, or to record a change in the registration[.]; and
(E) This shall not apply to chassis used for transporting shipping containers. These businesses may keep a duplicate copy of the certificate of registration within the shipping container chassis for which it is registered, in which case the certificate of registration shall be available for inspection at their principal place of business within the State."
SECTION 2. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date.
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
