Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.B. No. 1944
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1944 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HEALTH CLUBS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to allow military personnel deployed outside the state the benefit of canceling or suspending a health club contract under certain conditions.
The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs provided comments.
Your Committee finds that while the Service Members Civic Relief Act provides benefits to military personnel deployed on active duty with regard to rental agreements, credit card interest rates, income tax payments, and other matters, it is unclear whether its provisions would also allow a service member to cancel their health club contract. This measure provides this benefit to deployed military personnel.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1944 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
