Hawaii SB2009 requires used motor vehicles transferred between individuals to have new number plates and tags to reduce transferor liability.

Hawaii SB2009 addresses the liability issue for individuals transferring used motor vehicles. It mandates that transferors remove the old number plates and tags and submit them for disposal. Transferees must register the vehicle within seven days and obtain new number plates and tags. This change aims to protect transferors from liability for the vehicle's use by the new owner before the registration is updated. The bill does not affect existing rights, penalties, or proceedings.
