The 2010 Legislature passed House Bill No. 1985, S.D. 1, C.D. 1 – Relating to Taxation, which was signed into law as Act 59, Session Laws of Hawaii 2010 (“Act 59”). Pursuant to Act 59, all insurance licensing fees in Hawaii Revised Statutes section 431:7-101 will be doubled effective July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2014, including issuance, service, and renewal fees for insurers, producers, adjusters, surplus lines brokers, service contract providers, and vehicle protection product warrantors. Half of the fee is deposited to the compliance resolution fund and half of the fee is an “insurance license and service tax” which is deposited into the general fund.

Many of you know Katharine Nohr as the witty lady who makes us laugh with her unintentional (intentional?) humor during membership luncheon speeches. You probably know that she is an insurance defense attorney and you may have heard her speak about insurance law in the past. She has served on the board as President (fed us M&M’s for a year) and has been involved with many of the committees within the board…currently serving as chair of the FUN-draising Committee and Programs Committee. She’s also had many articles written and published in past issues of Aloha Notes. Did you know that she is also an author?
She is professionally known as Katharine M. Nohr, Esq., and has been an attorney with more than 20 years under her belt, or stilettos. Her areas of expertise are in premises liability, motor vehicles, and coverage but she is particularly well versed in handling negligence cases for insurance companies involving matters of sports.
She has just recently released her first book titled “Managing Risk in Sport and Recreation : The Essential Guide for Loss Prevention”
We are very proud to have her as a part of our association and we excitedly CONGRATULATE her on the release of her new book! Please give her a high-five the next time you see her…um, and tell everyone to buy her book =P
Below is a list of websites hosting her book! Thank you!

We just want to reiterate that the HAIP in its entirety is involved in so many things throughout the year. Members, non-members, HAIP friends, the board and chairs put their best FEET forward to make things happen within the association as well as within our community and abroad so why not show it off! The articles below are in regards to awards and events that have been published in the Insurance Journal in recent months and we thought it a great idea to add them to the blog.
Insurance Industry “Top Models” Take the Runway for Charity – October 24, 2008
Insurance industry leaders strutted down the catwalk modeling fashions from noted local designers in the Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals’ (HAIP) Insurance Fest “Fashion Show.”
This second annual fund-raising event was held to support the association’s annual Safety Essay Competition, which is currently in its evaluation phase. Public high school students compose stories which illustrate the dangers of substance abuse and/or reckless driving to raise awareness about these important issues while competing for cash awards.
“The HAIP is actively involved in the community and promoting education programs,” said Leila Tamashiro, HAIP president. “This was a great opportunity to raise funds for these programs while showcasing local designers with individuals from our corporate partner companies in a relaxed and fun environment.”
The runway show featured top local insurance executives modeling collections from Hawaii designers.
The Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals is the local chapter of the National Association of Insurance Women (NAIW). For more information, visit www.haipro.org.

Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals Win Education Award - May 12, 2009 and August 20, 2009
Leila Tamashiro, president of the Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals (HAIP), accepted the Jeffrey Nordhaus Education Award at the National Association of Insurance Women (NAIW (International)) regional meeting in Salt Lake City. The award honors the local association within the NAIW region which has significantly contributed to insurance education. Competing associations were evaluated on the courses their members attended or taught and insurance industry education articles written by their members.
“This is the culmination of the diligent efforts of our Awards Committee, chaired by Charlene Mizumoto and Marian Nakashima, our Education Committee, chaired by Linda Ipsen, and all of our dedicated members.”
The Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals is the local chapter of the National Association of Insurance Women (NAIW). Founded in 1947, the mission of NAIW/HAIP is education and alliance. The organization provides professional education, an environment in which to build business alliances, and other opportunities to make connections with individuals of differing career paths and levels of insurance experience.
