SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Bill No. 81; an Ordinance Amending Chapter 2, of the
Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as Amended), by Adding a New
Article to Implement a County Transient Accommodations Tax.
Please see below a proposed amendment to Bill No. 81. This proposed amendment would amend
SECTION 2 by adding a new section to exempt Hawaii County residents from paying the
County transient accommodations tax. This proposed amendment is illustrated in Ramseyer
format with respect to the contents of Bill No. 81; new material is underscored.
SECTION 2 of Bill No. 81 is amended by adding a new section to follow"Section 2-
Payment of tax" on page 2, as follows:
"Section 2- Exemption.
Caj A"resident of Hawaii County"means a person who is domiciled in Hawaii
County or resides in Hawaii County for two hundred days or more of the
taxable year for other than a temporary or transitory purpose as provided in
section 235-1 Hawaii Revised Statutes
A resident of Hawaii County shall be exempt from paying the County transient
accommodations tax when leasing, letting or renting a transient accommodation
in Hawaii County that is subject to taxation under this article."
Due to the limited scope of this amendment, a draft copy of Bill No. 81, Draft 2, in its entirety,
that would result if this proposed amendment is adopted, is not attached.
Thank you.
