S.C.R. No. 115 Summary

• Requests the State Auditor to conduct a review on "incidental and supplemental" contracting work performed under structural engineer oversight, specifically regarding specialty subcontractor licenses (C-6, C-31, C-32, C-35, C-38, C-41, C-48, C-56).

• Review must include: estimated number of licenses granted by the Contractors License Board, implications of deeming work as "incidental and supplemental" when less than a majority of total work, and public safety concerns.

• Auditor must examine best practices in construction projects, whether regulating individuals rather than companies would better protect public safety, and review all construction-related disasters in Hawaii related to this issue.

• Auditor must consult with stakeholders including construction unions, construction companies, structural engineers, steel fabricators, erectors, and trades councils during the review.

• Auditor must submit findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation to the Legislature no later than 20 days before the 2019 Regular Session convenes.
