STAND. COM. REP. NO. 772

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.B. No. 6

       S.D. 2

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 6, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to permit the Registrar of the Bureau of Conveyances to accept electronic documents with electronic signatures for recording.

 

Your Committee finds that this measure will allow the Bureau of Conveyances to become more efficient and up to date with its functions.  Furthermore, this measure does not require that the Bureau of Conveyances make any changes to its procedures until it has the capability to do so.  The Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act, upon which this measure is based, has been adopted in eighteen other states and the District of Columbia.

 

Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050 to continue the discussions in this matter.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 6, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 6, S.D. 2.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
