HI HB803

Replaces the term "local contact" with "on-island agent" and defines it as a real estate broker/salesperson licensed under chapter 467, a condominium hotel operator, or a custodian/caretaker employed by the transient accommodation operator.

Requires transient accommodation operators to designate an on-island agent residing on the same island as the property and provide that agent's information to any applicable homeowner, community, or condominium associations within 60 calendar days of any changes.

Limits associations' duty to report operator information to the Department of Taxation to only the relevant information they actually receive from operators, and changes the penalty for non-compliance from criminal penalties to a civil penalty of $75 multiplied by the number of association members.

Requires the operator's registration identification number to be displayed on all websites and advertisements for transient accommodations.

Removes the December 31, 2015 sunset date from Act 326 (Session Laws of Hawaii 2012), making the law permanent effective July 1, 2015.
