STAND. COM. REP. NO.  82-18

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2018

 

RE:   H.B. No. 1802

 

 

 

 

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Health & Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 1802 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CESSPOOLS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to amend the pilot program for cesspool upgrade, conversion, or connection income tax credit by repealing the provision that restricts the Department of Health from certifying more than two residential large capacity cesspools as qualified cesspools.

 

     The Department of Health, County of Hawaii, and Oahu County Committee on Legislative Priorities of the Democratic Party of Hawaii supported this measure.  The Department of Taxation provided comments.

 

     Your Committee notes that the Department of Taxation defers to the Department of Health on the merits of this measure.  The Department of Taxation further commented that this measure does not have a significant administrative impact on the Department and will be able to implement it with its current effective date.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health & Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1802 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to your Committee on Energy & Environmental Protection.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health & Human Services,
