S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 2992, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TAX ADMINISTRATION,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to allow the Department of Taxation to recover costs associated with prosecutions for tax violations from defendants upon their convictions.

Your Committee finds that this measure would provide for cost recovery similar to that allowed in federal tax cases.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2992, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
