STAND. COM. REP. NO.  46

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2011

 

RE:   H.B. No. 110

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 110 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO FREEDOM OF INFORMATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to clarify the Uniform Information Practices Act disclosure requirements by clarifying that a license applicant or licensee does not have a significant privacy interest in records which show that:

 

     (1)  Requisite experience for licensure has been met or exceeded;

 

     (2) Trade examinations have been passed; or

 

     (3) Adequate bonding is possessed. 

 

     Therefore, this bill makes such information contained in

government records subject to disclosure.

 

     Americans for Democratic Action/Hawaii and The League of Women Voters of Hawaii supported this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 110 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
