RE: S.B. No. 1395

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1395 entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE AMENDMENT OR REPEAL OF OBSOLETE TAX LAWS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to amend or repeal obsolete tax laws.

Despite the "housekeeping" nature of this bill, your Committee is concerned with the proposals regarding manufacturers in sections 2 thru 7, and 9 thru 11 of the bill. Accordingly, your Committee has amended the bill by removing these provisions, but intends to continue discussions on this matter during the remainder of the legislative session. Your Committee has also amended the bill by making a technical change that has no substantive effect.

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. 1395, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1395, S.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
