RE: H.B. No. 389
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 389 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO INCOME TAX,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Testimony in support of this measure was received from the Domestic Violence Action Center and a few concerned individuals. Comments on the measure were submitted by the Department of Taxation and Tax Foundation of Hawaii.
Your Committee finds that the income tax check-off allows taxpayers to support organizations that provide critical community services by designating a portion of their income tax refund for this purpose. This measure increases from $5 to $10 the amount of an authorized income tax refund that may be designated payable to certain special funds or accounts that support those critical services.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2030, in order to promote continued discussion on this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 389, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 389, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
