REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU'S DEPARTMENT OF BUDGET AND FISCAL SERVICES, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CUSTOMER SERVICES, TO STUDY THE FISCAL AND POLICY IMPACT OF THE ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY VEHICLE WEIGHT TAX EXEMPTION.

This Senate Resolution requests the City and County of Honolulu to conduct a study on the financial and policy effects of the tax exemption for active-duty military personnel's vehicles. The study will examine how many military vehicles qualify for the exemption, calculate the lost tax revenue over the past five years, and project future impacts on road maintenance funding. It will also assess administrative costs and identify any federal legal restrictions that might affect the county's ability to change the policy. The findings are intended to help officials understand the current tax treatment of military vehicles and inform future decisions about infrastructure funding.
