RE:   H.B. No. 1688

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2009

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Education, to which was referred H.B. No. 1688 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INCOME TAX CHECK-OFF,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to assist the Department of Education (DOE) in addressing its repair and maintenance needs by increasing, from $2 to $5, the amount taxpayers can designate on their income tax return forms to be deposited into the School-level Minor Repairs and Maintenance Special Fund and Libraries Special Fund.

 

     DOE and Hawaii State Public Library System testified in support of this bill.  The Tax Foundation of Hawaii offered comments.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Education that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1688 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Education,
