THIRTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE, 2024		H.D. 1
STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the present historic preservation tax credit, as authorized in section 235-110.97(i), Hawaii Revised Statutes, sunsets in 2025. Given this situation, the existing historic preservation income tax credit will no longer be available following the close of the 2024 taxable year for qualified rehabilitation projects. The sunsetting of the tax credit will diminish the ability of property owners, especially those from lower income brackets, to rehabilitate and remain in historic single-family residences. This will come as a great economic loss for those homeowners who wish to assist with the rehabilitation and continued use of historic buildings in the State that are central to the preservation of Hawaiian history and culture.

The purpose of this Act is to extend the historic preservation income tax credit through 2030 and adjusting the ceiling on total credits for future taxable years.

SECTION 2. Section 235-110.97, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (i) to read as follows:

"(i) The aggregate amount of the tax credits claimed for qualified rehabilitation projects shall not exceed:

(1) $1,000,000 for the 2020 taxable year;

(2) $1,000,000 for the 2021 taxable year;

(3) $1,000,000 for the 2022 taxable year;

(4) $1,000,000 for the 2023 taxable year; [~~and~~]

(5) $1,000,000 for the 2024 taxable year[.];

(6) $ for the 2025 taxable year;

(7) $ for the 2026 taxable year;

(8) $ for the 2027 taxable year;

(9) $ for the 2028 taxable year;

(10) $ for the 2029 taxable year; and

(11) $ for the 2030 taxable year."

SECTION 3. Act 267, Session Laws of Hawaii 2019, is amended by amending section 3 to read as follows:

"SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2019, and shall be repealed on December 31, [~~2024.~~] 2030."

SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.

SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.
