HB655

Hawaii HB655 limits unpaid motor vehicle taxes and fees to the most recent five years of delinquency.

Hawaii HB655 addresses the issue of residents owing more in unpaid motor vehicle taxes and fees than the vehicle's value, often leading to abandonment and environmental waste. The bill aims to mitigate this by limiting the required payment of unpaid taxes, fees, and penalties to those incurred during the most recent five consecutive years of delinquency. This change is intended to be more financially and environmentally beneficial for the state and counties.
