HI SCR58

Urges Hawaii's congressional delegation to support federal legislation addressing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota (1992), which prevents states from collecting sales taxes from businesses lacking physical presence.

Notes that estimated U.S. e-commerce sales for 2015 will reach nearly $6 trillion, more than five times the amount in 2000.

States that Hawaii has missed approximately $145 million in general excise taxes as of 2012, with losses projected to reach $211 million by 2015 due to lack of "nexus" or taxable presence of online companies.

Requests that certified copies of the concurrent resolution be transmitted to Hawaii's congressional delegation.
