HB 2486 Hawaii House · 2024 Regular Session

RELATING TO TAX ENFORCEMENT.

This bill would allow the state Department of Taxation to issue administrative subpoenas to individuals and businesses located outside the state's borders. Currently, the department's subpoena power is limited to cases where the person or entity is within the state, so this change expands their ability to gather information for tax investigations across state lines. The measure directly affects the Department of Taxation by granting it broader enforcement tools and impacts taxpayers who may be contacted regarding tax matters while living or doing business in other states.
