RE: New Bill Combining Bill No. 174, Draft 2 and Bill No. 177
Relating to Home Exemption and Definition of Principal Home
As discussed at the Finance Committee's meeting on August 31,2004, the attached new bill is
transmitted for your consideration. The new bill combines the amendments proposed in Bill
No. 174, Draft 2 (increasing home exemption to 20% not to exceed $80,000) and Bill No. 177
(improving definition of "principal home").
Introduction of the new bill should minimize confusion and drafting errors caused by two bills
attempting to amend the same section 19-71.
In addition to amendments shown in the two bills, the word "and" is being deleted in section 19-
7 1 (a)(2)(D):
(D) That a husband and a wife shall not be permitted exemption of separate homes
owned by each of them, unless they are living separate and apart, in which case
they shall be entitled to one exemption, to be apportioned equally between each of
their respective homes; [etid]
Please waive this bill out of the Finance Committee in order for it to be heard simultaneously
with Bill Nos. 174 and 177.

RE: Bill No. 320 - Combining Bill No. 174, Draft 2 and Bill No. 177
Relating to Home Exemption and Definition of Principal Home
Pursuant to Section I (g) of Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawai'i, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Committee on Finance to the full Council for immediate action. In reviewing
this matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore advantageous that approval is granted and
the matter placed onto the next Council agenda for review. However, in the event this request is
denied, for whatever reason, I understand the matter shall be referred to the Committee on
Finance for placement on its future agenda.
