Lee Loy via Communication No. 247, <br /> dated April 16, 2019, amends section 24-12, subsection(b), of the Hawai`i County Code, <br /> enacted through Ordinance No. 11-102 ("Aliyah's Law")to allow the citation and removal, at <br /> the registered owner's expense, of vehicles with window glazing (tinting) material that are in <br /> violation of applicable statutes. <br /> Before the discussion began, Committee Chair Sue Lee Loy relinquished the role of presiding <br /> officer to Vice Chair Matt Kaneali`i-Kleinfelder. <br /> Committee Member Lee Loy described the bill as a new tool in the belt to address the issue of <br /> illegal tinting. She asked Community Police Officer Matt Lewis to provide more information. <br /> Speaking from Hilo, Officer Lewis said the bill would add to the existing"Aliyah's Law"to <br /> ensure legal amounts of visibility for the safety of drivers being able to see other people on the <br /> road, and for the safety of traffic enforcement officers conducting traffic stops. There was no <br /> further discussion. <br /> Your Committee on Public Works and Mass Transit is in accord with the purpose and intent of <br /> Bill No. 64, and recommends its passage on first reading. <br /> ps <br /> AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, <br /> CHUNG X <br /> DAVID X COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS <br /> EOFF x AND MASS TRANSIT <br /> KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X 41110, <br /> KIERKIEWICZ X • <br /> LEE LOY X r �� <br /> POINDEXTER xi, K.
