URGING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO ENACT LEGISLATION TO EXEMPT RESIDENTS OF HAWAII FROM THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

This is a Hawaii House resolution (HR 168), not a bill, urging Congress to exempt Hawaii residents from federal income tax. It cites Hawaii's geographic isolation, high cost of living, and economic challenges as reasons for seeking this tax relief, referencing Alaska's precedent. The resolution formally asks Congress to enact such legislation and encourages Hawaii's congressional delegation to support it. It has no legal effect but expresses the state's position.
