HI SCR89

Encourages the Contractors License Board to reconsider its October 18, 2013 final order that defined "incidental and supplemental" work as less than 50 percent of a project's cost or extent.

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

States that the Legislature intended the exception to allow specialty contractors to perform only very minor work outside their license when necessary to complete their licensed work, not work comprising up to 50 percent of a project.

Requests the Contractors License Board report to the Legislature by twenty days prior to the 2015 Regular Session on whether it has amended its October 18, 2013 order to comply with legislative intent and the Supreme Court's ruling.

Originates from a dispute over whether a C-5 specialty contractor could perform jalousie window replacement work (20-25 percent of a Lanakila Elementary School renovation project) without a C-22 glazing license.
