RE: H.B. No. 998

H.D. 2

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 998, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO LAND COURT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to make various housekeeping amendments to statutes relating to the land court, chapter 501, Hawaii Revised Statutes.

Supportive testimony was submitted by the Judiciary, the Department of Land and Natural Resources, and Title Guaranty of Hawaii, Inc.

After careful consideration, your Committee has amended this bill by:

(1) Requiring rather than authorizing the submittal of an endorsement of the current certificate of title if the certificate reference in the instrument is not current; and

(2) Making various technical, nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, conformity, and style.

 

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 998, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 998, H.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs,
