Write Letter to Urge Governor Ige to Veto HB 862
Maui Chamber on the bill : “HB 862 cuts the counties out of TAT, allows a 3% surcharge, moves HTA’s research staff to DBEDT and removes HTA’s procurement exemption.
We are concerned as this measure will raise our overall TAT cost for visitors. We also don’t know if the 3% surcharge will equate to less than, more than or a comparable amount of revenue for the counties.”
