STAND. COM. REP. NO.  819-14

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2014

RE:   H.B. No. 2482

      H.D. 1

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 2482, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONDOMINIUMS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to make technical, nonsubstantive amendments to the State's condominium law for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

The Hawaii State Association of Parliamentarians supported this measure.

While this measure merits further discussion, your Committee has concerns that some of the "technical" amendments it proposes may be substantive.  This measure may also require further technical amendments as it proceeds through the legislative process.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2482, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary,

____________________________
