Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a sunrise review that analyzes the probable effects of the proposed regulation of athlete agents and assesses whether its enactment is consistent with state policy.

Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division of the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation.

Your Committee finds that proposed legislation from this session, H.B. No. 2440, H.D.2, S.D.2, seeks to regulate athlete agents by providing for the registration, certification, and background check of athlete agents seeking to represent student athletes in this State. Your Committee further finds that, barring any exemption that may be adopted by the Legislature from a sunrise review, the proposed regulation is subject to a sunrise review.

Your Committee has amended this measure by replacing references to H.B. No. 2440 with H.B. No. 2440, H.D.2, S.D.2, as recommended by the Professional and Vocational Licensing Division because this is the proposed legislation in its most current form.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 112, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 112, S.D. 1.
