2013 Legislative Session Ends with Good News

By Nikki Love
Public Policy Director

The Hawaii State Legislature adjourns Thursday, May 2, and we have great news to report on HANO’s priority issue of charitable deductions. Here is a brief update on that important bill and others, as of May 1:

Restoring tax incentives for charitable donations -- PASSED. House Bill 430 Conference Draft 1 was passed by the Senate and House yesterday. This bill restores the incentive for charitable donations by exempting the charitable deduction from the caps on itemized deductions for state income tax. The bill now goes to the Governor’s desk. HANO, along with Hawaii Community Foundation, was at the forefront of advocating for this important bill, and we extend a big mahalo to everyone who voiced their support throughout the session.

Ensuring board access to records -- PASSED. House Bill 791 Senate Draft 1 ensures board members’ access to records of nonprofits. This bill was passed by the legislature yesterday and now goes to the Governor’s desk.

Extending the Government Contracting Task Force -- ADOPTED. House Concurrent Resolution 47 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 41 have been adopted. These resolutions extend the Government Contracting Task Force to continue its work until Dec. 31, 2013.
