Informing the Legislature that on May 29, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1469 SD2 HD2 CD1 (ACT 118).

SB1469 (Act 118) amends Hawaii's tax collection laws to clarify the timeline for collecting income and excise taxes. It sets a deadline of June 30, 2024, for collecting taxes assessed before July 1, 2009, and adds specific situations where the collection period is paused - such as during tax appeals, when a taxpayer is outside Hawaii for six months, or while an offer to settle is pending. These changes apply to all taxpayers who owe state taxes and do not alter tax rates or create new obligations. The bill focuses on adjusting enforcement timelines for tax collection.
