Hawaii SB2394 amends tax laws to adjust rates and exemptions, and establishes a special fund for teacher hazard pay.

Hawaii SB2394 modifies the state's tax laws by adjusting the rates and exemptions for various sales and services. It introduces new definitions for terms like "lessor" and "rental motor vehicle." The bill also establishes a teacher temporary hazard pay special fund, into which additional revenues from certain sales will be deposited for fiscal years 2026-2027 through 2029-2030. These funds will be used to pay a temporary hazard pay bonus to eligible teachers. The fund will be abolished on July 1, 2030, with any remaining balances transferred to the general fund.
