RE: H.B. No. 1772
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2014
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts and Health, to which was referred H.B. No. 1772 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE GENERAL EXCISE TAX,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to increase access to quality healthcare for veterans of the Armed Services of the United States by exempting, from the general excise tax, amounts received by a contractor of the Patient-Centered Community Care Program for actual cost or advancement to a third party health care provider pursuant to a contract with the United States government.
Your Committees note the technical concerns raised by the Department of Taxation and respectfully request the Committee on Finance to scrutinize these concerns further should this measure move through the legislative process.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts and Health that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1772 and recommend that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Veterans, Military, & International Affairs, & Culture and the Arts and Health,
