RE: S.B. No. 2669
S.D. 2
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2669, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE PUBLIC,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to strengthen the Attorney General's authority to enforce Hawaii's charitable solicitation law.
Your Committee finds that this measure clarifies that the Department of the Attorney General shall serve as agent for purposes of service of process only for out-of-state charitable organizations that do not have a registered agent with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and establishes procedures for service. In addition, the measure amends the charity registration exemptions and the time period for the filing of a charity's annual financial report.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical amendments for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2669, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2669, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
