Bill Summary · SB 1033

Legislative bill overview

SB 1033 is a Hawaii tax bill that passed the Senate in amended form (SD 2) with strong support (25 ayes, 4 with reservations, 0 noes) and was transmitted to the House for consideration. The bill was carried over to the 2026 Regular Session, meaning it did not receive a final vote in the House during the 2025 session and will continue in the next legislative term.

Why is this important

Tax legislation directly affects state revenue and taxpayer obligations, making it significant for both government budgets and individual/business finances. The bill's advancement through the Senate suggests substantive support, but its carryover indicates either ongoing deliberation or lower priority relative to other measures.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill's specific tax provisions are not detailed in the legislative history provided, preventing full analysis of what taxes are affected and who bears the burden
  • Four senators voted with reservations, suggesting concerns about the bill's content that warrant public scrutiny
  • Without knowing the fiscal impact, it's unclear whether this generates revenue, provides relief, or restructures existing tax obligations
