47	47	SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Hawaii residents are often barred from claiming offers for free or reduced rate shipping, which are more commonly available to purchasers in other states. Many retailers also apply an arbitrary shipping cost to Hawaii residents, which does not correlate with the actual cost of shipping. The purpose of this Act is to establish that charging shipping and delivery charges that exceed the actual cost charged to the seller to ship or deliver goods to a consumer in the State shall constitute an unfair and deceptive practice. SECTION 2. Chapter 481B, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§481B- Shipping or delivery charges. In the sale or purchase of any goods to be shipped or delivered to a consumer in the State, if a seller imposes a separate charge for shipping or delivery to a consumer, that charge shall not exceed the actual cost charged to the seller to ship or deliver the goods to a consumer in the State." SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on June 30, 3000.
