HI HR88

Urges the Hawaii Department of Transportation to consider adopting a demerit points-based driver's licensing system, where points are added to a license for traffic violations

Hawaii recorded 129 traffic fatalities in 2025, the highest number since 2007, with over 90% of crashes attributed to human behavior

Hawaii currently uses a traffic abstract system to track moving violations and determine license eligibility, rather than a demerit point system

Approximately 40 states and the District of Columbia have already implemented demerit point systems, which are correlated with reductions in traffic injuries and fatalities

Certified copies of the resolution would be transmitted to the Director of Transportation and the Mayors of each county
