Hawaii Sta~° Association o~ Counties : <br /> Counties of Kauai, Maui and Hawaii. City 8. County of Honolulu <br /> January 12, 1998 '•,M1~' <br /> MEMO TO: President Rene Mansho <br /> and Members of the <br /> Hawaii State Association of Counties (HSAC) Executive Committee <br /> r <br /> FROM: Dennis Y. Nakamura, HSAC First Vice President <br /> SUBJECT: HB 94 (1997), RELATING TO COUNTY TAXES <br /> Please find attached a copy of House Bill No. 94 (1997). The purpose of <br /> the bill is to authorize the counties to establish a general excise tax (GET) of <br /> one-half per cent. <br /> I believe that it may be worthwhile for HSAC to take a position on this bill, <br /> which may be promoted during the 1998 legislative session as a new county <br /> revenue source designed to offset a possible reduction in the counties' share of <br /> transient accommodations tax (TAT) revenues. <br /> May I request that you consider whether this matter should be referred to <br /> the respective county councils. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. Should you have any questions, please <br /> contact me or my HSAC staff, David Raatz, at the Council Office (243-7663). <br /> ocs:hsac:980109a:dr <br /> Attachment <br /> cc: Honorable Bob Nakasone, State House of Representatives (w!o attachment) <br /> <br /> ~Q~ <br /> <br />
