STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2117
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2017
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, to which was referred S.B. No. 2017 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE CLAIMS ADJUSTERS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to allow crop insurance adjusters to use an examination approved by the federal Risk Management Agency to fulfill the licensing examination requirement in section 431:9-222.5 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the State Insurance Commissioner. Written testimony presented to the Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that this measure will improve adjuster proficiency for the highly specialized area of crop adjusting. Your Committee further finds that utilization of the examination approved by the federal Risk Management Agency helps ensure consistency and uniform standards among all states, thus improving their collective ability to uniformly regulate the business of insurance.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2017 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection,
