Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1440 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO DRIVER EDUCATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase awareness about organ and tissue donation among new drivers by requiring driver education programs to include the distribution of information on organ and tissue donation and the possibility of saving lives through organ and tissue donation under Hawaii's law on the designation of an anatomical gift.

 

     A council member of the City and County of Honolulu, Legacy of Life Hawaii, and a concerned individual supported this measure.  The Department of Education opposed this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to July 1, 2020, to promote further discussion.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1440, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1440, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Health.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
