STAND. COM. REP. NO. 698
Honolulu, Hawaii
RE: S.B. No. 698
S.D. 2
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 698, S.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE RENTAL MOTOR VEHICLE AND TOUR VEHICLE SURCHARGE TAX,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to increase the rental motor vehicle surcharge tax and the tour vehicle surcharge tax by an unspecified amount.
Your Committee received six written comments on this measure. The written comments may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that the rental motor vehicle surcharge tax and the tour vehicle surcharge tax need to be increased to accommodate the growing cost of maintaining roads and highways in the State. While your Committee is reluctant to raise these surcharge taxes, your Committee is also cognizant of the current fiscal crisis and believes that these increases are necessary.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2070, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 698, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 698, S.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
