HI HR202

Requests the Department of Transportation to examine and amend its administrative rules to eliminate the requirement that individuals obtain a certificate of inspection before registering a motor vehicle

Identifies the current process as creating a three-step burden for vehicle owners: receiving a failed safety inspection, presenting documentation to the county motor vehicle registration department, then returning for the completed certificate of inspection

Notes that the current requirement creates unnecessary traffic, complications for vehicle owners, and extra work for safety inspection stations

Cites that a majority of states do not require safety inspections, and those that do typically do not require a valid certificate of registration to obtain a certificate of inspection

Directs certified copies be sent to the Directors of Transportation and related motor vehicle administrators across the state of Hawaii
