STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1022
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2013
RE: S.B. No. 633
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred S.B. No. 633 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO UNLICENSED CONTRACTING ACTIVITIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that the determination of whether conduct is unlicensed contractor fraud in the first or second degree is based upon the total value of property over which the unlicensed contractor obtains control. By permitting an offset of the value of work done by an unlicensed contractor from the total value of the property, the total value of the property is less likely to meet the threshold necessary to constitute the offense. This measure clarifies that no offset for the value of work done by an unlicensed contractor should be permitted when calculating the total property value for these offenses.
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 is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 633 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
