Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 2899, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO JUDGMENT LIENS,"

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 bill is to change the requirement that a judgment debtor's full social security number be included on a judgment, order, or decree that is being recorded for lien purposes. The bill requires only the last four digits of the social security number, also states that liens do not continue beyond the time period that the underlying judgment, order, or decree is in force, and clarifies that liens apply to judgments, including their underlying orders and decrees.

 

Your Committee on Conference has amended this bill by:

(1) Deleting the amendments pertaining to the requirement that the judgment debtor's social security number be included on the recorded judgment, to allow this issue to be considered by the task force created by Act 65, Session Laws of Hawaii 2005, currently known as the Hawaii Anti-Phishing Task Force, and proposed to be renamed the Identity Theft Task Force under H.B. No. 3244, H.D. 1, S.D. 2; and

(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for style, clarity, and consistency.

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 H.B. No. 2899, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2899, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
