47		-	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that according to the American Automobile Association, the average price ~~per gallon~~ for regular gasoline in Hawaii increased from $4.334 in December 2021 to $5.030 in December 2022. The legislature also finds that motor vehicle manufacturers have begun charging subscription fees for consumers to use certain features in their vehicles, including remote locking, remote ignition, and automatic high-beam headlights. The legislature recognizes that these and various other factors are contributing to the increase in transportation costs for residents. The legislature notes that it is the State's desire to lower these transportation costs in the State. Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to prohibit motor vehicle manufacturers from charging subscription fees for the use of certain services that employ equipment already installed in a motor vehicle at the time of sale. SECTION 2. Chapter 437, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to part I to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§437- Manufacturer subscriptions; prohibited. No manufacturer shall charge to any consumer in the State a subscription fee for the use of any service that employs equipment already installed in the applicable motor vehicle at the time of sale as a new motor vehicle; provided that this section shall not apply to entertainment streaming subscriptions, vehicle navigation~~, traffic information, and safety-related services~~." SECTION 3. This Act does not affect rights and duties that matured, penalties that were incurred, and proceedings that were begun before its effective date. SECTION 4. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2050.
