REQUESTING EACH COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT TO INCREASE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST OUT-OF-STATE VEHICLES OPERATING ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY REGISTERED IN THE APPROPRIATE COUNTY.

This House Resolution (HR 29) requests county police departments to increase enforcement against out-of-state vehicles operating on public roads without proper registration in Hawaii. It does not create new law but urges existing enforcement of current requirements that out-of-state vehicles must register with the county or hold a valid permit. The resolution cites concerns that unregistered vehicles avoid contributing to road maintenance costs and may pose safety risks due to lack of inspections or insurance. It specifically references a 30% decline in out-of-state permits in Honolulu as context for the request. The resolution is non-binding and directs police chiefs to prioritize this enforcement.
