STAND. COM. REP. NO. 390
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2015
RE: H.B. No. 657
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Eighth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2015
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development & Business, to which was referred H.B. No. 657, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The Department of Taxation and Tax Foundation of Hawaii commented on this measure.
Hawaii residents often face storms and other events that can have disastrous effects. Oftentimes, residents face issues resulting from a loss of electrical power due to these events. Your Committee finds that providing a tax credit for the purchase of residential back-up generators would assist residents in addressing some of these issues.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 657, H.D. 1, and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business,
