Hawaii SB310 modifies the state tax surcharge to allow counties to use the funds for public transportation and housing infrastructure costs. Counties can now use the surcharge for capital, operating, or maintenance costs of public transportation systems, expenses to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and housing infrastructure costs. The bill also allows counties with a population greater than 500,000 to use the surcharge for purposes other than just capital costs of mass transit projects. The surcharge can be extended at a lower rate after December 31, 2030.
