Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1349, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

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 measure is to remove obsolete statutory references from the mutual benefit societies law.

Chapter 416, Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS), relating to corporations, generally, was repealed following the enactment of the Hawaii Nonprofit Corporation Act, codified in chapter 415B, HRS. References to the repealed chapter, however, remain in section 432:1-201, HRS, a provision in the mutual benefit societies law pertaining to incorporation of a mutual benefit society by charter. This measure removes those obsolete statutory references.

Your Committee has amended this measure by deleting the effective date of July 1, 2010, and inserting language that provides for the measure to take effect upon its approval.

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 S.B. No. 1349, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1349, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.
