Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B. No. 1211, S.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to authorize a state income tax check-off dedicated to the repair and maintenance of Hawaii's public schools.

The check-off would be deducted from a taxpayer's tax refund of $2 or more and designated to a public school of the taxpayer's choice.

Your Committee has amended the bill by making technical changes that have no substantive effect.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1211, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1211, S.D. 2.
