HI HB227

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 286-25 to increase fines for operating a vehicle or moped without a current certificate of inspection from a maximum of $100 to tiered penalties of $150 for a first offense and $250 for a second offense within ten years.

Includes a provision reducing fines for certificates of inspection expired more than two years, though the specific fine amount is left blank in the bill text.

Does not affect rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that were established before the Act's effective date.

Takes effect July 1, 3000 (appears to be a clerical error for July 1, 2025 or similar near-term date).
