A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

RELATING TO CONDOMINIUMS.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that Act 196, Session Laws of Hawaii 2018 ("Act 196") created important and effective rules relating to alternative dispute resolution to address condominium related disputes.  The stated goals of Act 196 were to:

     (1)  Expand the scope of the condominium education trust fund to cover voluntary binding arbitration between interested parties; and

     (2)  Amend the conditions that mandate mediation and exceptions to mandatory mediation.

     The legislature further finds that the amendments to the Hawaii Revised Statutes made by Act 196 successfully effectuated its purpose and should remain permanent.

     The purpose of this Act is to repeal the sunset date of Act 196, Session Laws of Hawaii 2018 so the statutory amendments remain permanent.

     SECTION 2.  Act 196, Session Laws of Hawaii 2018, is amended by amending section 9 to read as follows:

     "SECTION 9.  This Act shall take effect on January 2, 2019[, and except for section 6, shall be repealed on June 30, 2023; provided that sections 514B-71(a), 514B-72(a), and 514B-161, Hawaii Revised Statutes, shall be reenacted in the form in which they read on January 1, 2019]."

     SECTION 3.  Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken.

     SECTION 4.  This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2020.
