RE:   H.B. No. 2214

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2014

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 2214 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE REMOVAL OF CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION DIRECTORS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure to clarify that a condominium association board of directors has the authority to fill interim board vacancies only until the next annual or duly noticed special board meeting.

 

     The Community Association Institute, the Hawaii State Association of Parliamentarians, and two individuals submitted testimony in support of this measure.  One individual submitted testimony in opposition.  The Hawaii Council of Associations of Apartment Owners submitted comments.

 

     Your Committee finds that this measure will provide needed clarity regarding the authority of condominium association boards of directors to fill interim board vacancies, so that boards can continue to function until the next annual or duly noticed special meeting occurs.

 

     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 H.B. No. 2214 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 Consumer Protection & Commerce,
