SB29

Hawaii SB29 repeals vehicle license recovery fees and modifies how rental car companies pass on costs to lessees.

Hawaii SB29 repeals the definition of "vehicle license recovery fees" and eliminates the ability of motor vehicle lessors to pass these fees onto lessees. The bill also repeals the requirement for rental car companies to submit annual audits to the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. The changes aim to prevent overpayments by lessees and to address concerns that vehicle license recovery fees may harm Hawaii's tourism industry.
