HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A hearing will be held for several measures of statewide significance Tuesday.
The House Committee on Transportation will hear proposals related to electric bicycle safety, transportation-related revenue, and incentives for cleaner vehicles.
The committee will hear HB2021, a technical cleanup bill addressing issues identified in last year’s electric bicycle legislation, which was vetoed. The measure clarifies definitions, safety standards, and enforcement language to ensure workable implementation.
The committee will also consider three additional measures:
HB2195 addresses assessment and funding mechanisms tied to port head fees to ensure lawful and sustainable revenue collection.
HB2586 will modify the taxation structure for rental car companies, with revenue directed to support the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.
HB2023 will establish a rebate program to help Hawaii residents purchase used electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, expanding access to cleaner transportation options.
The hearings will take place at 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 10 at the Hawaii State Capitol.
