HI HR63

Encourages the Contractors License Board to reconsider its October 18, 2013 final order that defined "incidental and supplemental" work as less than fifty percent of a project's total cost or extent.

Directs the Board to align its interpretation with the Hawaii Supreme Court's April 17, 2013 ruling that the "incidental and supplemental" exception for specialty contractors should be narrowly construed and must consider the cost and extent of work involved.

States that the Legislature intended the exception to allow specialty contractors only very limited, minor work outside their license when necessary to complete their licensed work, not work comprising up to 49 percent of a project.

Requests the Contractors License Board report to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the 2015 Regular Session convening on whether it has amended its October 18, 2013 order to comply with legislative intent and the Hawaii Supreme Court ruling.

Directs certified copies be transmitted to the Hawaii Supreme Court Chief Justice, Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and other relevant parties including District Council 50 and Aloha Glass Sales & Service, Inc.
