Dear Chair Aquino, Vice Chair Hashimoto, and Committee Members:
RE: HB 1729, Relating to Resgistration of Vehicles
HB 1729 would be a grant of permission to the counties, allowing them (in their
discretion) to require payment of outstanding charges related to abandoned and derelict
vehicles. While such a requirement might be of limited applicability, it certainly seems
to be an appropriate tool that the counties should have available, in order to enhance
collection of outstanding obligations.
I believe this measure was endorsed by all the county Mayors, and I ask for your
favorable vote.
Respectfully Submitted,
Aci,„
Harry Kim `J
