RE:   H.B. No. 2624

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 2624 entitled:

 

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

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to conform planned community association laws with respect to proxies to comparable provisions regulating condominium property regimes.

 

     The Hawaii State Association of Parliamentarians, Legislative Action Committee of the Community Associations Institute, and several concerned individuals supported this bill.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by:

 

     (1)  Adding a provision stating that no developer or owner may cast a vote for any undeveloped unit;

 

     (2)  Changing the options contained on an authorized standard proxy form to remove the option that the proxy be given to:

 

          (A)  The association board as a whole; and

 

          (B)  Directors present at the meeting for which the proxy is given;

 

     (3)  Changing the effective date to January 1, 2011, so that planned community associations will have advance notice to update their proxy forms before their 2011 annual meetings; and

 

     (4)  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. 2624, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2624, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary.

 

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