A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
The legislature further finds that implementing a fee has been successful for funding infrastructure in other states like Minnesota. Hawaii has the potential to create a self-sustaining source of funding for the State's safe routes to schools program. This approach not only aligns with broader initiatives to promote responsible tourism, but also represents a responsible means of addressing the safety issues that are exacerbated by the proliferation of transportation network company services in the State.
The purpose of this Act is to impose a fee on each transportation network company, taxicab, and limousine ride, the proceeds of which will be used on safety projects.
SECTION 2. Chapter 279G, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
"§279G- Transportation network company, taxicab,
and limousine fee. (a)
There is levied and shall be assessed and collected a transportation
network company, taxicab, and limousine fee of
cents, to be
levied on the rider, on each ride originated through a transportation network
company's digital platform or provided by a taxicab or limousine.
(b) Each transportation network company shall
collect and remit the required transportation network company fees to the
department of taxation in such form as the department of taxation shall
proscribe.
(c) All fees collected under this section shall
be deposited into the safe routes to schools program special fund established
under section 291C-4.
(d) For the purposes of this section,
"transportation network company" means the same as in section
431:10C-701."
SECTION 3. Section 291C-4, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§291C-4 Safe routes to school program special fund; establishment. There is established in the state treasury the safe routes to school program special fund, into which shall be deposited:
(1) Assessments collected for speeding in a
school zone, pursuant to section 291C-104; [and]
(2) Safe routes to school program
surcharges collected in accordance with sections 291-16 and 291C-5[.];
and
(3) Transportation network company,
taxicab, and limousine fees collected in accordance with section
279G- ."
SECTION 4. Statutory material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 5. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 3000.
Report Title:
Transportation; Transportation Network Company; Safe Routes to School Program Special Fund; Fee
