STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1968

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2007

RE:   H.C.R. No. 108

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fourth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2007

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Legislative Management, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 108 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO PERFORM A SUNRISE REVIEW TO DETERMINE WHETHER HOME INSPECTORS SHOULD BE LICENSED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Auditor to conduct a sunrise review to determine whether home inspectors should be licensed by a home inspector licensing board as contemplated under H.B. No. 182, introduced during the Regular Session of 2007.

     Section 26H-6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the Auditor to conduct sunrise reviews of new regulatory measures that, if enacted, would subject unregulated professions and vocations to licensing or other regulatory controls.

     The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and Hawaii Association of Realtors testified in support of this concurrent resolution.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Legislative Management that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 108 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Legislative Management,
