Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the House of Representatives to the amendments proposed by the Senate in H.B. No. 1876, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR VEHICLE 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 allow motor vehicle insurers to satisfy the requirement that insurers provide a complete sales and claims office in the State by allowing the insurer's licensed producer to establish and maintain a sales and claims office on every island the insurer does business.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying that licensed producers of a motor vehicle insurer that establish and maintain an office in every county, rather than on every island, the insurer does business meet the requirement for an insurer to provide a complete sales and claims office in the State; and

 

     (2)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2018.

 

     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. 1876, 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. 1876, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE SENATE
