Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2026

State of Hawaii

Sir and Madam:

Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 3067, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO RECORDS,"

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

The purpose of this measure is to:

(1) Remove outdated requirements and formats for plans filed with the Registrar of Conveyances;

(2) Update permissible drawing scales used in plans;

(3) Clarify that statutory filing fees are set pursuant to the rules adopted by the Department of Accounting and General Services (DAGS);

(4) Repeal obsolete terms; and

(5) Authorize DAGS to approve the format of plans.

Your Committee on Conference finds that the requirements, fee schedule, and permissible drawing scales for plans filed with the office of the Registrar of Conveyances remain outdated. This measure modernizes and improves the operations of the Bureau of Conveyances by updating relevant statutes regarding the filed plans and granting DAGS more discretion to approve the format of the filed plans.

Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by making it effective upon its approval.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3067, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3067, S.D. 1, H.D. 1, C.D. 1.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
