Hawaii SB2896 lowers the minimum age for commercial driver's licenses from twenty-one to eighteen.

Hawaii SB2896 amends state law to allow individuals aged eighteen and above to drive commercially in intrastate commerce. The bill specifies that these drivers must not transport hazardous materials or passengers in a school vehicle, and must have held a category 3 state driver's license for two years without any suspensions, revocations, or cancellations. The Department of Transportation is directed to update rules to reflect this change. The bill takes effect upon approval.
