Hawaii HB1696 lowers the minimum age for commercial driver's licenses from twenty-one to eighteen.

Hawaii HB1696 amends state law to allow individuals aged eighteen to drive commercially in intrastate commerce. To qualify, drivers must meet specific conditions, including having a category 3 state driver's license for two years without suspension, revocation, or cancellation, and not having convictions for excessive speeding, reckless driving, improper lane changes, tailgating, or motor vehicle commerce violations. The Department of Transportation is directed to update rules to reflect the new minimum age requirement.
