Informing the Legislature that on June 21, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2295 HD1 SD1 (ACT 065).

This bill amends Hawaii's traffic code to clarify how local governments can regulate vehicle stopping, standing, and parking. It authorizes the state director of transportation and counties to prohibit or restrict parking where it is dangerous or interferes with traffic flow, while explicitly banning counties from charging rental fees or other penalties instead of standard court fines. The legislation also updates procedures for issuing citations to allow county employees to issue summonses for violations that do not require arrest and permits officers to cite illegally parked vehicles without a driver present. These changes affect county ordinances, law enforcement officers, and vehicle owners across the state.
