RE: S.B. No. 2752
Honorable Colleen Hanabusa
President of the Senate
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2010
State of Hawaii
Madam:
Your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2752 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TAX ADMINISTRATION,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to provide for the mandatory assessment of administrative costs associated with investigating tax crimes when a taxpayer is convicted of a tax offense or has a conviction deferred.
Testimony in support of the measure was submitted by one state agency. Comments were submitted by one private organization. Written testimony presented to your Committee may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.
Your Committee finds that the provisions proposed in this measure will serve as further deterrence for tax evasion and other similar behavior. The costs collected will be used for, among other things, administering the operations of criminal investigation for tax offenses.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2752 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Judiciary and Government Operations,
