RE: H.B. No. 1707
H.D. 2
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Sixth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2012
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary, to which was referred H.B. No. 1707, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSIENT ACCOMMODATIONS,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to control the proliferation of temporary vacation rentals and to ensure that nonresident owners of a rental property that is rented for 30 days or less pay their fair share of general excise taxes and transient accommodations taxes on the rental income by requiring nonresident owners of residential single family dwellings, apartments, or townhouses who rent their property as a transient accommodation for 30 days or less to rent the property through a licensed real estate broker or salesperson who must collect all applicable taxes.
Your Committees have amended this measure by changing its effective date to January 1, 3000, to encourage further discussion.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1707, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Finance, in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1707, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Consumer Protection & Commerce and Judiciary,
