RE:    S.B. No. 1483

       S.D. 1

       H.D. 1

       C.D. 1

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

Sirs:

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1483, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HAWAII REVISED STATUTES SECTION 514B-153(E),"

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 and intent of this measure is to require the association of a condominium to list its name and address as the representative agent for individual time share owners unless the individual time share owner requests the association to list the individual time share owner's name and address instead.

     The intent of listing a condominium association as a representative agent rather than the names and addresses of individual fractional owners in time share properties codifies the current practice by most condominium associations.  Further, allowing the listing of a time share association in place of the individual fractional owners is sufficient to ensure that individual time share owners receive important communications from the condominium association, since time share associations regularly pass on communications received from the condominium association to time share owners.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by inserting an effective date of upon 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. 1483, 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. 1483, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:
