Sir:
Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 462, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE UNIFORM ARBITRATION ACT,"
having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.
The purpose of this bill is to standardize Hawaii's arbitration laws with those used in other states by replacing the current statutory chapter on arbitration and awards with the Uniform Arbitration Act.
Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:
(1) Clarifying that from July 1, 2004, (rather than from January 1, 2020), the provisions of the Uniform Arbitration Act will apply to all agreements to arbitrate, including those entered into prior to the effective date of this bill; and
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2002.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 462, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 462, H.D. 1, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
