COM. REP. NO. 448
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.B. No. 272
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 272 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONDOMINIUMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Make condominium laws regarding sales to owner-occupants inapplicable to time share units; and
(2) Increase the minimum percentage of residential units in a condominium project that must be offered for sale to prospective owner-occupants in the thirty-day period following the initial date of sale of the condominium from fifty percent to ninety percent.
Your Committee finds that this measure would address certain housing needs for Hawaii residents by increasing the amount of residential unit stock available for sale to prospective owner-occupants.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 272, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 272, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
