Report Title: Economic Development

Description: Specifies the terms and conditions, and amount of qualified improvement tax credits, allowed for qualified improvement costs for property designated primarily for resort or hotel use by the counties, or property in which the primary purpose is for hotel or resort use or commercial or recreational use to support or service a hotel or resort use. Disallows the transient accommodations tax credits from qualified improvement costs. Requires the director of taxation to develop procedures for the distribution and share of the tax credits. Authorizes the director of taxation to develop for each qualified taxpayer, a plan that phases in over a ten year period, the qualified improvement tax credits claimed by the taxpayer. Partially exempts the Hawaii tourism authority from the environmental impact statements (EIS) law. Amends the definition of "action" under the EIS law to exclude any marketing and promotional program that does not require a discretionary permit. (SB3032 HD2)
