HCR 182 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THAT THE TAX REVIEW COMMISSION CONSIDER CERTAIN GOALS FOR AN EQUITABLE, EFFICIENT, AND ADEQUATE TAX POLICY STRUCTURE IN ITS DELIBERATIONS.

HCR 182 is a concurrent resolution requesting the Tax Review Commission (TRC) to consider five specific goals when evaluating Hawaii's tax system. It directs the TRC to assess how state tax policy maximizes benefits for Hawaii taxpayers under federal law, weigh federal policy impacts, ensure fair contributions from non-residents/visitors, evaluate tax credits/exemptions, and analyze one-time versus recurring revenue sources. This resolution does not change tax law but instructs the TRC on key considerations for its upcoming deliberations. It affects the TRC's review process, not taxpayers directly.
