A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE PERMITTED TRANSFERS IN TRUST ACT.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Hawaii continues to lay the foundation necessary to attract foreign-source capital and to retain local capital through proven domestic and international estate and financial planning methodologies. The legislature further finds that the original intent of the permitted transfers in trust act was to offer incentives to high net-worth individuals throughout the United States and the world to transfer a portion of their liquid net worth into this State for asset and trust management. It is the legislature's intent to achieve the original purpose of the permitted transfers in trust act and to make Hawaii a more competitive investment environment in the national and local marketplace.
The purpose of this Act is to amend the permitted transfers in trust act by allowing increased flexibility in the type and extent of assets that may be managed by Hawaii's private financial sector, thereby increasing state tax revenues and better positioning the State as a world-class financial management jurisdiction.
SECTION 2. Chapter 554G, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§554G- Advisors. (a) A transferor may appoint, through the trust instrument, one or more advisors or protectors, including:
(1) Advisors who have authority under the terms of the trust to remove and appoint trustees, advisors, trust committee members, or protectors;
(2) Advisors who have authority under the terms of the trust to direct, consent to, or disapprove of distributions from the trust; and
(3) Advisors, including the transferor beneficiary of the trust, who serve as investment advisors to the trust.
(b) While a trustee may appoint an advisor, the administrative and non-administrative authority over the trust shall remain with the trustee.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b), whenever there is a dispute, deadlock, or difference of opinion between a trustee and an advisor, the transferor may direct that the determination of the advisor shall be binding upon the trustee; provided that the trustee shall bear no liability or accountability for any act or transaction entered into as a result of the enforcement of the advisor's determination. The trustee's administrative and non-administrative fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries shall be waived as to the specific act or executed transaction; provided that the trustee dissents in writing before the act or transaction is completed."

provision of this type contained in the trust instrument shall be deemed to be

brought against a trustee of a trust that results from a permitted transfer, a
court declines to apply the law of this State in determining the validity,
construction, or administration of the trust[,] or the effect of a
spendthrift provision of the trust, the trustee, immediately upon the court's
action and without the further order of any court, shall cease to be trustee of
the trust and a successor trustee shall [thereupon] succeed as trustee
in accordance with the terms of the trust instrument. If the trust instrument
does not provide for a successor trustee or does not provide for an advisor or
protector with powers to appoint successor trustees, a Hawaii court of
competent jurisdiction shall appoint a successor permitted trustee upon the
application of any beneficiary of the trust under any terms and conditions that
the court determines to be consistent with the purposes of the trust and with
this chapter. Upon the removal of a trustee pursuant to this section, the
