"HONOLULU — A state representative has proposed a law that he says would help reduce the islands’ overwhelming number of discarded vehicles. Rep. Cedric Asuega Gates’ bill would change current language that says counties “may” dispose of abandoned vehicles. The bill would change that to say “shall,” which would increase counties’ responsibilities to dispose of abandoned vehicles."

How benevolent. What the state ought to do is pass a law that sets a tow and disposal fee of $400 (or a reasonable cost thereabouts) on all abandoned vehicles. Everyone who registers any vehicle is informed of their obligation to properly dispose of their vehicle (if they decide to do so).
This notice is included when you get your registration. If a vehicle is abandoned, a $400 obligation is placed on the vehicle owner. No such owner shall be allowed to register or re-register any other vehicle without paying the fee.
I don't see much difference between abandoning a car on the side of a public road and leaving your bags of garbage there. But apparently I'm an extremist. (Yes we simultaneously need work on a "state sponsored junk yard where people can deliver their unwanted vehicles.")
