Informing the Legislature that on April 23, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1470 (ACT 024).

SB1470 revises Hawaii's income tax withholding rules for employers. It requires employers to calculate withholding based on an employee's current pay, assuming no other income and applying a standard deduction (equal to one exemption). Employers must also consider any exemptions claimed by employees via a certificate filed with them. This change takes effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, impacting all Hawaii employers and employees subject to income tax withholding.
