RE: H.B. No. 21

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Tourism and Culture, to which was referred H.B. No. 21 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TIME SHARING PLANS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to repeal the requirement that time share agents wear identification badges while off premises and engaged in acquisition agent or sales agent activity.

The American Resort Development Association (ARDA), ARDA of Hawaii, Hilton Grand Vacations Club, and an employee of Resort Condominium International submitted testimony in support of this measure. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs testified in opposition to the measure.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism and Culture that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 21 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Tourism and Culture,
