Hawaii Auditor Says AMC Registration Act Unwarranted
The Auditor of the State of Hawaii published its report, Sunrise Analysis: Real Estate Appraisal Management Companies, A Report to the Governor and the Legislature of the State of Hawaii. In accordance with state law in Hawaii, the State Auditor is required to evaluate proposals to regulate previously unregulated professions or vocations prior to enacting such legislation. The Auditor reports that Senate Bill 1606, which would regulate AMCs in the state, is not warranted. The Auditor did, however, add that enactment of the federal Wall Street financial reform bill now requires all states to register and supervise AMCs. You'll find the report by following this hyperlink: http://www.state.hi.us/auditor/Reports/2010/10-07.pdf
