SB 978 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO TAXATION.

SB 978 amends the tax code by changing the definition of "draft beer" to include beer sold in individual containers of five gallons or more. This technical adjustment directly affects breweries and distributors who sell large-volume beer containers, as it clarifies which products fall under the "draft beer" tax category. The bill does not create new taxes or alter tax rates; it only modifies the definition used for tax classification purposes. This change ensures consistency in how large-container beer is treated under existing tax regulations.
