Summary:
The House Revenue and Taxation Committee met on January 29, 2026, to consider RS 33142, an Internal Revenue Code conformity proposal presented by Rep. Jeff Ehlers. Ehlers said the revised RS would preserve individual tax relief retroactive to 2025, update Idaho’s treatment of research and experimentation expenses by allowing full expensing for new costs starting in 2025 while phasing out prior-year amortization, continue Idaho’s nonconformity with bonus depreciation, and prevent double-dipping by disallowing the same expenses for both deductions and certain credits. He said the changes were intended to spread corporate costs over time and reduce the immediate budget impact.
Members focused heavily on the fiscal note and the range of outside estimates. Rep. Gannon cited estimates from ATI, the Tax Foundation, and the Idaho Center for Fiscal Policy that were higher than the sponsor’s figure, and asked whether the fiscal note should reflect a broader range. Ehlers responded that the committee must choose a single fiscal note number and defended the $155 million estimate as a reasonable middle-ground projection, explaining differences in how various analysts treated R&E timing and other assumptions. He also said nonconformity would reduce tax benefits for individuals, including seniors and working taxpayers, and noted the corporate impact was much smaller than the individual-side relief.
Several members asked for more context on how the bill’s fiscal impact would fit into the broader state budget picture, and Ehlers said he would work with JFAC co-chairs and provide more information later. Rep. Birch supported introduction but emphasized the uncertainty around the fiscal note, while Rep. Monks argued that fiscal notes are attachments prepared by the bill sponsor and should not determine whether a bill is introduced. The committee voted to introduce RS 33142, and the motion carried with Rep. Gannon recorded as opposed. The committee then adjourned and announced it would not meet the following day.

Summary:
The House Housing Committee met to executive several bills, with staff outlining proposed substitutes and key changes before members took a caucus break. House Bill 1974, the land bank bill, was described as removing several original provisions such as county authorization requirements, advisory boards, planning strategies, annual audits, surplus-property prioritization, and a grant program, while adding annual reporting and a real estate excise tax exemption. House Bill 2118, which would limit common interest community associations from imposing more restrictive use covenants than those in place when a unit was acquired, had no amendments but was not moved forward at this time.
House Bill 2236, dealing with Housing Finance Commission authority, was explained as clarifying that the commission may not act as a retail mortgage lender or make loans for owner-occupied home purchases or refinancing, except for certain down-payment assistance loans, while adding an intent section to emphasize that the commission is not meant to compete with private lenders. Members debated whether removing language about using public funds could create taxpayer risk or a de facto state bank, but supporters said the changes modernize outdated law and clarify the commission’s role. House Bill 2269, concerning middle housing and on-site sewage systems in LAMIRDs, would restore broader county authority for middle housing in LAMIRDs while limiting sewage-system options based on whether the county is rural or non-rural.
The committee voted to report House Bill 1974 out with a due pass recommendation by a 10-7 vote, with several members opposing or voting without recommendation over tax concerns. House Bill 2236 also passed out of committee with a due pass recommendation by a 13-4 vote after similar debate over public-funds language. House Bill 2269 passed unanimously by voice vote, and the committee adjourned after completing its executive action.

Committee:
Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection
Summary:
The Hawaii State Senate Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection met on February 1, 2025, for decision-making on two measures previously heard on January 14. For SB 146, relating to condominiums, the committee recommended passage with amendments. The amendments were described as incorporating Real Estate Commission language to clarify the bill and narrowing its scope to managing agents with budget and replacement reserve responsibilities and authority to communicate with unit owners, thereby excluding smaller associations. The committee also deferred the effective date to July 1, 2050 and made technical, non-substantive changes. The measure was adopted without objections.
The committee also considered SB 1050, relating to insurance and captive insurance. Members described ongoing discussions between the Insurance Division and the captive insurance industry over revised language intended to support industry growth while preserving the state’s regulatory oversight and solvency protections. The committee noted receipt of compromise amendments developed after a week of negotiations and again deferred the effective date to July 1, 2050. A member thanked the chair and referenced the role of former chair Bob Her in bringing the captive industry to Hawaii, expressing support for continued momentum in the sector.
For SB 1050, the committee recommended passage with amendments, with the chair voting aye and no reservations or objections from members present. Both measures were therefore adopted by the committee for recommendation to the full Senate.

Summary:
The House convened, completed roll call with 48 members present and three excused, deferred reading of the journal, and received Senate communications noting adoption of House Concurrent Resolutions Nos. 1 and 2. The chamber also recognized several visiting groups and guests, including Congresswoman Jill Tuda, Chamber of Commerce Hawaii participants and students, Okinawan visitors, Farrington High School students, James Campbell High School students, and Waiau High School students, many of whom were introduced in connection with Chamber Week activities and educational presentations.
The main business was unfinished business on House Resolutions 6 and 7, which adopted the House rules for the 33rd Legislature, including rules for the Committee on Standards of Conduct. Members generally supported the rules package as a transparency and modernization update, citing earlier public access to testimony, a public list of Speaker appointees, changes to conference committee eligibility, telework for staff, social media guidance, and a public list of bills introduced by request. Several members raised reservations or opposition, focusing on concerns about staff involvement in approving written remarks, budget information timing, the Vice Speaker’s role, social media/free speech issues, and whether some changes reduced public access or conflicted with constitutional open-meeting requirements.
No vote on the rules package is recorded in the excerpt. The debate ended with multiple members yielding time and the discussion continuing on the merits of the proposed rule changes, especially the balance between transparency, internal House procedure, and public participation.

Summary:
The Capital Budget Committee met in executive session on several bills before fiscal cutoff. Staff briefed Substitute House Bill 2236 on the State Housing Finance Commission, House Bill 2281 on state-tribal government-to-government relations, House Bill 2514 to establish a Global War on Terror memorial on the Capitol campus, and House Bill 2551 allowing certain school districts to sell real property under specified conditions. Staff also noted an updated fiscal note for HB 2281 showing a Department of Natural Resources estimate of about a $5 million per-biennium reduction in receipts due to reduced timber sales.
HB 2236 was moved out of committee with a due pass recommendation after members discussed whether it expanded the Housing Finance Commission’s authority; the vote was 10-6 with three excused. HB 2514 also passed out of committee, with members generally supporting recognition of veterans and families affected by war, though some objected to the bill’s title and framing; it passed 12-4 with three excused. HB 2551 drew more concern, with some members arguing school districts should not sell capital assets to cover operating costs and others noting local jurisdiction impacts; after additional discussion and reopening of the vote, it ultimately passed 10-8 with one excused.
HB 2281 was considered with a proposed substitute and two amendments from Representative Walsh. Amendment H-203, intended to protect critical infrastructure projects, and amendment H-202, intended to preserve access related to timber and natural resource sales, were both rejected. Members supporting the bill said it was meant to protect free exercise of religion and tribal interests, while opponents raised concerns about the bill’s effects and the need for more stakeholder work. The substitute bill then passed out of committee 10-8 with one excused.
