(1) Hawaii income patterns--individuals;

proprietorships, and partnerships; [and]
(3) Tax credits[.]; and
(4) The previous tax year's tax revenues by island; provided that the department shall annually report this information to the legislature no later than March 1 of each year.
The department shall make each of these reports available in both paper form and commonly accessible electronic forms for a reasonable fee."
SECTION 3. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
