SB 95 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO VEHICLE SAFETY.

SB 95 adds new fines for drivers and moped operators who operate vehicles without a current safety inspection certificate. It directly affects anyone operating a car, truck, or moped that hasn't passed the required safety check. The key provision creates an additional penalty on top of existing fines for this violation, increasing the financial consequence for skipping inspections. The bill focuses on strengthening enforcement of mandatory vehicle safety checks to improve road safety.
