REQUESTING THE COUNTIES TO AUTHORIZE A PERCENTAGE OF TAXES GENERATED BY THE GENERAL EXCISE AND FUEL TAXES COLLECTED BY THE COUNTIES TO BE USED FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATELY‑OWNED ROADWAYS THAT ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR 68) requests Hawaii's counties to allow using a portion of general excise and fuel tax revenue - collected by counties - to maintain privately-owned public roads. It specifically targets roads open to the public (used by emergency vehicles, school buses, and general traffic) that deteriorate due to public use but lack dedicated maintenance funding. The resolution does not create new taxes or mandate county action; it asks counties to authorize existing tax funds for road upkeep on these private roads. This aims to improve public safety and transportation on roads currently burdened with repair costs for private owners.
