GM 1115 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Informing the Legislature that on May 19, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1946 HD2 SD2 (ACT 015).

This bill informs the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed HB1946 into law on May 19, 2026, to streamline the registration process for time share developers and agents. The key provision establishes that renewal applications and plan amendments will be automatically approved within 30 and 60 days respectively, unless the Commerce and Consumer Affairs Department issues a deficiency notice during that time. This change aims to reduce administrative delays while maintaining oversight of the time share industry. The law directly affects developers, acquisition agents, plan managers, and exchange agents operating in Hawaii's visitor economy.
