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.
HCR 30 is a concurrent resolution requesting county police departments to increase enforcement against out-of-state vehicles operating without proper Hawaii registration. It addresses vehicles that avoid paying road maintenance costs and potentially lack required insurance or safety compliance. The resolution does not create new law but asks police to enforce existing rules requiring out-of-state vehicles to register with the county or obtain a valid permit. It follows a reported 30% decline in out-of-state permits issued in Honolulu over four years. The request applies to all counties and aims to ensure all road users comply with registration requirements.
