     Your Committee on Tourism, to which was referred S.B. No. 1483, S.D. 1, entitled:

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

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to alleviate the administrative and financial burden of condominium associations by allowing the association of a condominium that contains time share units to substitute the name and address of the time share association for the names and addresses of individual time share owners in the records that the condominium association is required to maintain.

     Your Committee has amended this bill by changing its effective date to March 3, 2015, to promote further discussion.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1483, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1483, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
