AI Summary

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

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

  • States that email communication would expedite sharing of time-sensitive association information, particularly benefiting out-of-state members who receive traditional mail slower than in-state residents.

  • Notes that resident managers are required by law to maintain records of current addresses and provide copies to members for association purposes, but current law does not clarify whether email addresses are acceptable.

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