STRONGLY URGING THE REAL ESTATE COMMISSION TO ALLOW FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON'S EXAMINATION IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE FOR PURPOSES OF ISSUING A FULL REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON'S LICENSE, LIMITED TO THE SALE OF TIMESHARE PRODUCTS IN HAWAII, TO PROMOTE THE SALE OF THESE PRODUCTS TO JAPANESE-SPEAKING VISITORS AND ENHANCE JAPAN'S INVOLVEMENT IN AND SUPPORT OF THE HAWAII TOURISM INDUSTRY.

SCR 87 is a legislative resolution urging Hawaii's Real Estate Commission to use its existing authority under state law to administer the real estate salesperson exam in Japanese. This would allow Japanese-speaking applicants to obtain licenses specifically for selling timeshare products to Japanese visitors in Hawaii. The resolution aims to increase timeshare sales to Japanese tourists and support Hawaii's tourism industry, referencing existing multilingual exam practices like driver's license tests. It does not create new law but recommends the Commission exercise its current powers to facilitate this change.
