SECTION 1. Section 248-2.6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsection (a) to read as follows:
"(a) If adopted by county ordinance, all
county surcharges on state tax collected by the director of taxation shall be
paid into the state treasury quarterly, within ten working days after
collection, and shall be placed by the director of finance in special
accounts. Out of the revenues generated by county surcharges on state tax paid
into each respective state treasury special account, the director of finance
shall deduct [ten] per cent of the gross proceeds of a
respective county's surcharge on state tax to reimburse the State for the costs
of assessment, collection, and disposition of the county surcharge on state tax
incurred by the State. Upon any increase in the costs of assessment,
collection, and disposition of the county surcharge on state tax, the State may
amend its deduction, by adoption of rules pursuant to chapter 91, to a
percentage no greater than ten per cent. Amounts retained shall be general
fund realizations of the State."
