Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate

State of Hawaii
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. 594, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES AND COURSE PROVIDERS FOR INSURANCE LICENSEES,"
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:
(1) Authorize the Insurance Commissioner and Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) to collect fees to offset the cost of issuing continuing education course and course provider certificates, and providing other related services; and
(2) Require continuing education course providers to submit course completion information to DCCA by electronic means within 45 days after the course is completed or the course competency exam is scored.
Your Committee on Conference finds that this measure will support Insurance Division administration of newly enacted insurance licensee continuing education requirements, and will also promote the efficient and timely processing of insurance license renewals.
Your Committee on Conference has made technical, nonsubstantive amendments to this measure for purposes of clarity and consistency.
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. 594, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 594, H.D. 2, S.D. 2, C.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
