RE: H.B. No. 2314
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Tourism, to which was referred H.B. No. 2314 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE TRANSIENT ACCOMMODATIONS TAX,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority testified in support of this measure. The Department of Taxation, Department of Budget and Finance, and Tax Foundation of Hawaii provided comments.
Your Committee recognizes the concern raised by the Department of Taxation regarding this measure. The Department of Taxation is in support of allocating funds to the Convention Center Enterprise Special Fund on a fiscal year basis. However, they also provided suggested language for amendments to ensure consistency within Chapter 237D-6.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Tourism that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2314 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 Tourism,
