STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1822

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: S.C.R. No. 72

S.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirtieth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2019

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 72, S.D. 1, entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE COUNTIES TO SUBMIT A REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE ON HOW MANY VEHICLE WEIGHT TAX EXEMPTIONS ARE CLAIMED BY MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD, MILITARY RESERVES, AND OTHER ARMED SERVICES,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the counties to submit a report to the Legislature regarding use of vehicle weight tax exemptions by members of the armed services.

No written comments were received on this measure.

Your Committee finds that, due to the limited ability of the State to determine the number of members of the armed services who claim vehicle weight tax exemptions and who also claim residency in the State, the counties may be the most appropriate entities to provide this information.

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 concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 72, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

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