     WHEREAS, the Board, after a hearing and based on established usage in the construction industry, may create, modify, or delete existing classifications; and

 

     WHEREAS, classifications under the C-68 classified specialist license have not been defined in definitions that have undergone the public hearing process, which would have provided the general public or other interested parties with the opportunity to review and comment on the definitions; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-ninth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2017, the Senate concurring, that the Board is requested to review all C-68 classified specialist licenses per Hawaii Revised Statutes and provide the opportunity for public review of classification definitions; and
