Governor Green Signs Bills to Increase Safety on State Roadways
The bills the governor signed Thursday included measures focused on a range of issues, including vehicle weight, Safe Routes to School, driver’s license renewal and others.
Following greater calls to improve traffic laws and pedestrian safety, state legislators and other advocates for safer roads announced the passage of bills to reduce traffic fatalities in Hawaii.
The bills pass on the heels of several significant traffic fatalities in recent years near schools. Earlier this year, a woman was crossing Keolu Drive near Kaʻelepulu Elementary in Kailua, when a vehicle struck her. The victim was transported to a hospital, where she later died.
A contractor working with the state on the fraudulent claims filed and processed through the Ohio Department of Job and Family services says other state agencies should be on the alert.
