Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business, to which was referred H.B. No. 2152 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The American Insurance Association; Hawaiian Electric Co. Inc.; Maui Electric Company, Ltd.; Hawaii Electric Light Company, Inc.; Hawaii Insurers Council; GEICO; Building Industry Association of Hawaii; and Property Casualty Insurers Association of America opposed this measure. The Department of Human Resources Development, Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc., provided comments.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Amending the definition of "medical fee schedule" for motor vehicle insurance purposes in order to prevent a possible unintentional raise in motor vehicle insurance premiums; and
(2) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2112, for the purpose of facilitating further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2152, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2152, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business,
