A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to electric vehicles.
BE IT
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that on a per-mile basis, it is significantly less expensive to commute in an electric vehicle than it is to commute in a gas-powered automobile. Residents can lower their cost of living by relying on local renewable energy for transportation and transitioning to less-expensive renewable vehicles and transportation systems. In order to encourage early adoption of electric vehicles, the legislature authorized the department of transportation to adopt rules that would provide incentives for registration, licensing, parking, and operation of electric vehicles. Currently, less than one per cent of registered passenger vehicles in the State are electric vehicles. The legislature further finds that these incentives are due to sunset on June 30, 2020.
The purpose of this Act is to extend the sunset date of Act 168, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, by ten years to June 30, 2030.
SECTION 2. Act 168, Session Laws of Hawaii 2012, is amended by amending section 4 to read as follows:
"SECTION
4. This Act shall take effect upon its
approval and shall be repealed on June 30, [2020.] 2030."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
