COM. REP. NO. 612-18
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2018
RE: H.B. No. 1877
H.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Ninth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2018
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Labor & Public Employment, to which was referred H.B. No. 1877 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONTRACTORS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee notes that the handyman exemption amount has not increased since 1992 and, as such, your Committee recognizes the importance of facilitating meaningful dialogue on this measure. Your Committee further notes that while the points raised in the purpose section of this measure are persuasive to support an increase to the handyman exemption, the $5,000 exemption amount merits further consideration.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Making the increased threshold exemption amount an unspecified amount; and
(2) Changing its effective date to January 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Labor & Public Employment that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1877, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1877, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Labor & Public Employment,
