BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  Section 281-1, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending the definitions of "condominium hotel" and "hotel" to read as follows:

     "Condominium hotel" means an establishment consisting of one or more buildings that includes:

     (1)  Guest rooms that are apartments, as defined in section 514A-3, or units, as defined in section 514B-3, which are used to provide transient lodging for periods of less than thirty days under a written contract with the owner of the apartment or unit in the condominium hotel operation; and
