Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1630, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO NONPROFIT CORPORATIONS,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to allow the boards of planned community associations with a minimum of 2,500 members to authorize the election of directors or officers by mail.

This measure will facilitate the election process for large planned community associations and the participation of greater numbers of association members in board elections.

Your Committee on Conference made a nonsubstantive stylistic amendment to the language describing the nonprofits that may conduct the election by mail only if so authorized in the organization's bylaws or articles of incorporation.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1630, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1630, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
