Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 2311 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PLANNED COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to help protect the rights of homeowners by prohibiting planned community associations from disallowing members to erect and use a flag pole to display the United States or Hawaii State flag.

 

     The Oahu Veterans Council and many concerned individuals testified in support of this bill.  Several concerned individuals opposed this measure.  The Community Associations Institute-Hawaii Chapter and many concerned individuals provided comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Prohibiting associations and boards of directors from assessing any fee for the placement of any flag pole; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

     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. 2311, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2311, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

 

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