HI HCR169

Urges the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs to interpret "current addresses" in Hawaii Revised Statutes sections 514A-83.3 and 514B-153 to include email addresses for condominium association members.

Addresses confusion and friction among condominium association members, boards of directors, and management companies regarding whether email addresses qualify as "current addresses" under existing law.

Notes that resident managers are required to maintain records of member addresses and provide copies upon request, but current law lacks clarity on whether email addresses are acceptable forms of contact information.

Identifies benefits of email communication including lower cost, faster delivery, and improved information sharing for out-of-state members compared to traditional mail delivery.

Directs certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and the President of the Hawaii Chapter of the Community Associations Institute.
