STAND. COM. REP. NO. 14-16
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2016
RE: H.B. No. 129
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2016
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 129 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONTRACTORS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
To address concerns raised at the public hearing, your Committee has amended this measure by clarifying that the reasonably equivalent knowledge, training, and applicant experience licensing substitutes that the Contractors License Board may accept under this measure do not apply to elevator mechanics. However, given the licensing scheme for elevator mechanics under chapter 448H, Hawaii Revised Statutes, there remains a question whether this amendment is necessary. Accordingly, should the Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce choose to deliberate on this measure further, your Committee respectfully requests that it consider whether the amendment should be deleted.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 129, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 129, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
