RE:   H.B. No. 2897

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 2897 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONTRACTORS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to allow the Contractors License Board to revoke, suspend, or not renew the license of a contractor who knowingly or intentionally employs a person who is not eligible to work in the United States under federal law to perform work on any project or operation.

 

     The Hawaii Laborers' Union; Hawaii Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO; and Subcontractors Association of Hawaii testified in support of this bill.  The Hawaii Civil Rights Commission opposed this measure.  The Contractors License Board offered comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2897 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
