Sirs:

 

     Your Committee on Conference on the disagreeing vote of the Senate to the amendments proposed by the House of Representatives in S.B. No. 1202, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION,"

 

having met, and after full and free discussion, has agreed to recommend and does recommend to the respective Houses the final passage of this bill in an amended form.

 

     The purpose of this measure is to make various technical amendments to the fuel tax law, liquor tax law, and cigarette tax and tobacco tax law under the jurisdiction of the Department of Taxation. 

 

     Your Committee on Conference recognizes the Department of Taxation recently completed a review of the Hawaii Revised Statutes chapters that are being amended by this measure.  Your Committee on Conference believes that this measure will clarify certain state tax laws and allow for more effective administration of those laws. 

 

     Your Committee on Conference has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Clarifying that statements filed concerning the number of gallons of fuel refined, manufactured, compounded, imported, sold or used by the distributor or person are public records;

 

     (2)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2021; and

 

     (3)  Making technical, nonsubstantive changes for the purposes of clarity and consistency.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the managers of your Committee on Conference that is attached to this report, your Committee on Conference is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1202, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Final Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1202, S.D. 1, H.D. 2, C.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the managers:

 

ON THE PART OF THE HOUSE
