One last second to last thought:
If SB 2089 passes, it will put at least a few people out of a job in 2013. I know of 7 people in just my neighborhood that will lose their job. The real estate companies will [probably] not hire all 7 of us to work with them even if we all spent the money on the RE license test, joined the HBR, etc. We still will be looking for jobs.
If you have a job opportunity for any of us 7 middle-aged women with lots of admin and management skills, please email me. Pay must be commiserate with driving distance - right now our fuel costs are zero.
ETA: This came across my purview on a blog, if you think this bill is in any way altruistic or to your vacation renting benefit, think again. The group promoting this went to the Dept of Taxation requesting support, the Dept did not promote it. If you look at all the testimony submitted: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session201...-12_4_.PDF It is all large propety managers.
