Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 112 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to determine whether regulation of athlete agents is reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety, or welfare of consumers by requesting the State Auditor to conduct a sunrise review of H.B. No. 2440, 2006, which would establish a Uniform Athlete Agents Act to provide for registration, certification, and background checks of athlete agents seeking to represent student athletes.

The Professional and Vocational Licensing Division of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs supported this concurrent resolution. Hawaii's Uniform Law Commissioners supported this measure if the Legislature does not pass H.B. No. 2440.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 112 and recommends its adoption.
