State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No.
2584 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE FUEL TAX,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to reduce administrative burden
by deleting certain fuel tax reporting requirements that are no
longer used by the Department of Taxation.

     The Lieutenant Governor, Department of Taxation, and Tesoro
Hawaii supported this bill.  The Tax Foundation of Hawaii
commented on this bill.

     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.
2584 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

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



                                   ______________________________
