A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF TIME SHARES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that time share accommodations form an important component of Hawaii's visitor industry and provide a consistent and steady stream of visitors and revenue for the State's overall economy.
The legislature further finds that the time share industry itself has matured so that many of Hawaii's time share units are now associated with international hotel and lodging companies who hold reputable and recognized brands.
The legislature also finds that the State's existing time share registration requirement for developers requires filing for renewal of registrations and filing when there are amendments to time share plans. However, review and approval of these registrations are often significantly delayed, which creates a burden on the time share industry and its ability to maintain and attract time share owners and consumers. Delays in the approval of amendments also prevent consumers from receiving the most current information about purchases of time shares.
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to:
(1) Provide that applications for registration renewal required by section 514E-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, shall be deemed approved upon delivery; and
(2) Provide that any amendment to a required time share plan registration shall be deemed approved by operation of law on the sixtieth day after the amendment is submitted to the director of commerce and consumer affairs, unless the director issues a deficiency letter within that period.
SECTION 2. Section 514E-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§514E-10 Registration required; developer, acquisition agent, plan manager, and exchange agent; registration renewal; title report; title holding trusts. (a) A developer shall not offer or dispose of a time share unit or a time share interest unless the disclosure statement required by section 514E-9 is filed with the director pursuant to the time specified in this chapter, or the development is exempt from filing, and the time share plan to be offered by the developer is accepted by the director for registration under this chapter. The director shall not accept a developer's time share plan if the developer does not possess a history of honesty, truthfulness, financial integrity, and fair dealing.
(b) An acquisition agent (including the developer if it is also the acquisition agent) shall register under this chapter by filing with the director a statement setting forth the time sharing plan for which it is providing prospective purchasers, its address, the telephone number, other information required by the director as provided by rules adopted pursuant to chapter 91, and, if the acquisition agent is not a natural person, the name of the responsible managing employee; provided that an acquisition agent licensed under chapter 467 as a real estate broker shall not be required to register under this chapter. All acquisition agents not licensed under chapter 467 shall be approved by the director. The director shall not approve any acquisition agent who is not of good character and who does not possess a reputation for honesty, truthfulness, and fair dealing. The acquisition agent shall furnish evidence that the acquisition agent is bonded as required by rules adopted by the director pursuant to chapter 91 to cover any violation by the acquisition agent of any solicitation ordinance or other regulation governing the use of the premise or premises in which the time share plan is promoted; provided that the acquisition agent shall be separately bonded for each time share plan for which it is providing prospective purchases.
(c) A plan manager (including the developer if it is also the plan manager) shall register under this chapter by filing with the director a statement setting forth the time sharing plan that it is managing, its principal office address, telephone number, and responsible managing employee. The plan manager shall furnish evidence that the plan manager is bonded as required by rules adopted by the director pursuant to chapter 91 to cover any default of the plan manager and any of its employees of their duties and responsibilities; provided that the plan manager shall be separately bonded for each time share plan under the management of the plan manager.
(d) An exchange agent (including the developer if it is also an exchange agent) shall register under this chapter by filing with the director a statement setting forth the time sharing plan for which it is offering exchange services, its principal office address and telephone number, and designate its responsible managing employee.
(e) Any plan manager or developer registration required in this section shall be renewed by December 31 of each even‑numbered year, and any acquisition agent or exchange agent registration required in this section shall be renewed on December 31 of each odd-numbered year; provided that this subsection shall not relieve the person required to register from the obligation to notify the director promptly of any material change in any information submitted to the director, nor shall it relieve the developer of its obligation to promptly file amendments or supplements to the disclosure statement, and to promptly supply the amendments or supplements to purchasers of time share interests. Applications for renewal required by this section shall be deemed approved upon delivery.
(f) An application for renewal of a developer registration shall be on a form prescribed by the director and shall include:
(1) A current disclosure statement that meets the requirements of section 514E-9 and section 16-106-3, Hawaii Administrative Rules, if not already on file;
(2) A statement that is certified by the developer to be true and correct in all respects and that identifies, as appropriate:
(A) The time share units in the time share plan registered pursuant to this chapter; the total number of time share interests registered for sale in each unit pursuant to this chapter; and the total number of time share interests that have not yet been sold as of the date specified in the developer's certification, which date shall not be more than sixty days prior to the date of the developer's certification; or
(B) The property in the time share plan registered pursuant to this chapter; the total number of points registered for sale in each property pursuant to this chapter; and the total number of points in the time share plan that have not yet been sold as of the date specified in the developer's certification, which date shall not be more than sixty days prior to the date of the developer's certification;
(3) If the developer is a corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, or limited liability partnership, an original certificate of good standing issued by the business registration division of the department of commerce and consumer affairs not more than forty-five days before the date of submission of the renewal application; and
(4) The biennial renewal fee.
(g) Developers shall not be required to include the following in an application for renewal of a developer registration of a time share plan:
(1) A financial statement of the developer; or
(2) A policy of title insurance, a preliminary title report, abstract of title, or certificate of title on the units or time share interests in the time share plan.
(h) Any amendment to a time share plan registration required by this chapter, except for amendments that add inventory to or remove inventory from a time share plan, shall be approved by operation of law on the sixtieth day after the amendment is submitted to the director, unless the director issues a deficiency letter prior to the end of the review period.
A deficiency letter shall list all deficiencies and describe each deficiency in sufficient detail to enable the applicant to address the deficiency.
In the event that a deficiency letter is not issued within the sixty-day period, upon request by the applicant, the director shall furnish to the applicant, within ten business days after receipt of the applicant's request, a letter confirming that the amendment has been approved either by action of the director or by operation of law.
[(h)] (i) A developer's
application for registration or annexation shall include:
(1) A list of the projects containing the time share units that are included in the application and that are located outside the State; and
(2) A statement by the developer that it has verified that the use of each of those out-of-state time share units for time sharing purposes in the manner contemplated by the developer's time share plan is either in compliance with or not prohibited by the zoning and land use laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where the time share units are located.
The developer shall not be required, as part of the developer registration, to submit any other evidence that the use of out‑of-state time share units for time sharing purposes in the developer's time share plan is either in compliance with or not prohibited by the zoning and land use laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where the time share units are located.
[[(i)]]
(j) To the extent that a time
share plan utilizes a title holding trust to protect the rights of purchasers
to use the time share property from blanket liens that may arise subsequent to
the closing of the sale of a time share interest:
(1) The developer shall submit a title report:
(A) Showing that title to the time share units or time share interest to be protected by a title holding trust has been conveyed to the trustee; and
(B) Showing the recordation of any documents required to be recorded for the purpose of protecting the rights of purchasers to use the time share property from blanket liens that will remain on title subsequent to the closing; and
(2) The developer shall not thereafter be required to submit additional title reports on property covered by a title report that meets the requirements of paragraph (1) unless otherwise required in another section of this chapter.
[[(j)]]
(k) To the extent that a time
share plan utilizes a notice of time share plan to protect the rights of
purchasers to use the time share property from blanket liens that may arise
subsequent to the closing of the sale of a time share interest:
(1) The developer shall submit a title report:
(A) Showing that a notice of time share plan has been recorded on title to the time share units or time share interests to be so protected; and
(B) Showing the recordation of any documents required to be recorded for the purpose of protecting the rights of purchasers to use the time share property from blanket liens that will remain on title subsequent to the closing; and
(2) The developer shall not thereafter be required to submit additional title reports on property covered by a title report that meets the requirements of paragraph (1) unless otherwise required in another section of this chapter.
[[(k)]]
(l) To the extent that a time
share plan utilizes alternative arrangements to protect the rights of
purchasers to use the time share property from blanket liens:
(1) The developer shall submit a title report showing the recordation of all documents that, as part of the alternative arrangements accepted by the director, are required to be recorded for the purpose of protecting the rights of purchasers to use the time share property from blanket liens; and
(2) The developer shall not thereafter be required to submit additional title reports on property covered by a title report that meets the requirements of paragraph (1) unless otherwise required in another section of this chapter."

STAND. COM. REP. NO. 2209
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 2359
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2026
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development and Tourism, to which was referred S.B. No. 2359 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO REGISTRATION OF TIME SHARES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to:
(1) Provide that applications for registration renewal required by section 514E-10, Hawaii Revised Statutes, governing time share developers, acquisition agents, plan managers, and exchange agents, shall be deemed approved upon delivery; and
(2) Provide that any amendment to a required time share plan registration shall be deemed approved by operation of law on the forty-fifth day after the amendment is submitted to the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, unless the Director issues a deficiency letter within that period.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation; ARDA Hawaii; Kohala Coast Resort Association; Travel + Leisure, Co.; King's Land, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club; and one individual.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs.
Your Committee finds that time share accommodations are an important, stabilizing component of the State's tourism industry and significant local employer. Under the existing time share registration regulatory structure governed by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, resort developers, acquisition agents, plan managers, and exchange agents are required to submit renewal filings on a biennial basis. However, these routine submissions often remain pending for years due to administrative backlogs. Approval delays create uncertainty for developers and prevent consumers from receiving the most current and accurate disclosure information. This measure improves regulatory efficiency and consumer transparency by streamlining the time share registration process.
Your Committee acknowledges the concerns raised by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs that amendments to time share plans other than adding or removing time share inventory, such as amendments to time share declarations, trust documents, or disclosure statements, may require more than forty‑five days to review because they may include material and substantial changes that affect consumers' rights and obligations. Therefore, amendments to this measure are necessary to address this concern.
Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Providing that any amendment to a required time share plan registration shall be deemed approved by operation of law on the sixtieth day, rather than the forty-fifth day, after the amendment is submitted to the Director of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, unless the Director issues a deficiency letter within that period;
(2) Amending section 1 to reflect its amended purpose;
(3) Inserting an effective date of January 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and
(4) Making a technical, nonsubstantive amendment for the purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development and Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2359, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2359, S.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development and Tourism,
