       S.D. 1

       H.D. 1

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam and 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. 345, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PORTABLE ELECTRONICS INSURANCE,"

 

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 update fees associated with the licensing of portable electronics insurance vendors to align these fees more closely with similar licensing fees in other jurisdictions.

 

     Your Committee on Conference finds that raising the fees for portable electronics insurance vendors is appropriate given that the licenses cover the activities of the vendor and its employees.  Your Committee on Conference further finds that the resulting fee structure is consistent with that in place in other states.

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Inserting a fee amount of $5,000 for the issuance of the initial portable electronics limited lines license and $2,500 per year for the initial or renewal term; and

 

     (2)  Making the measure effective upon its approval.

 

     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. 345, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 345, S.D. 1, 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
