Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2606, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to streamline the procedure for adjusting a charge when an insurer:

(2) Finds that the billing exceeds the maximum charge permitted by law.
The Hawaii Insurers Council and Consumer Lawyers of Hawaii testified in support of this bill.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2606, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2606, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
