RE:   S.B. No. 2224

      S.D. 1

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred S.B. No. 2224, S.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE TAX LIEN AND ENCUMBRANCE RECORD,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to increase the ability of state and county agencies to collect outstanding debts by:

 

     (1)  Requiring the county Director of Finance to record notices of judgments as an encumbrance payable to the state or a county on any registered motor vehicle in the Director's "tax lien and encumbrance record" book;

 

     (2)  Exempting state and county agencies, under certain conditions, from paying the fee for the recording of an entry in the "tax lien and encumbrance record" book; and

 

     (3)  Allowing a taxpayer to enter into a payment agreement with the Department of Taxation to avoid a lien and encumbrance recordation.

 

     The Department of Taxation and the Department of the Attorney General supported this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     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 S.B. No. 2224, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2224, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
