THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE, 2020		S.D. 1
STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO TIME SHARES.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that all time share owners are members of their time share owners association. However, some time share plans' owners associations are governed by a plan manager or board of directors comprised of developer delegates that may not represent the collective interests of the time share owners.

The purpose of this Act is to require a time share plan manager or the board of directors of a time share owners association to maintain an accurate and current list of the names, mailing addresses, and electronic mail addresses of the board members and association members, to be made available to any member of the association under certain conditions.

SECTION 2. Chapter 514E, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

"§514E- Membership list. (a) The plan manager, or the board of directors if there is no plan manager, shall keep an accurate and current list of the names, mailing addresses, and electronic mail addresses of all board members and association members, including the names, mailing addresses, and electronic mail addresses of any vendors under agreement of sale, if any. The list shall be maintained at a place designated by the plan manager or the board of directors and a copy shall be made available, at a reasonable cost, to any member of the association as provided in the declaration or bylaws or rules and regulations or, in any case, to any member who furnishes to the plan manager or board of directors a duly executed and acknowledged affidavit stating that the list:

(1) Shall be used by such owner personally and only for the purpose of providing information to other association members with respect to association matters; and

(2) Shall not be used by such owner or furnished to anyone else for any other purpose.

(b) No board of directors shall adopt any rule prohibiting the solicitation of proxies or distribution of materials relating to association matters by association members; provided that a board of directors may adopt rules regulating reasonable time, place, and manner of such solicitations or distributions, or both.

(c) Any reasonable fee charged to an association member to obtain a copy of the list pursuant to this section shall not exceed $1 per page, or $200, whichever is less."

SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2020.
