RE: S.B. No. 549
S.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred S.B. No. 549, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE EXPRESS WARRANTY ENFORCEMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to make the remedies under the Motor Vehicle Express Warranty Enforcement Law (Lemon Law) available to owners of defective motorcycles sold on or after September 1, 2009.
The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs provided comments on this bill.
Your Committee finds that this bill expands the protections of the Lemon Law, which includes remedies by which consumers with defective motor vehicles may obtain from the manufacturer corrections of vehicle defects, a replacement vehicle, or a refund of the purchase price.
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 S.B. No. 549, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
|
