HI SCR155

Requests the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Budget and Fiscal Services to study the fiscal and policy impact of the active-duty military vehicle weight tax exemption

In early 2025, 54,764 active-duty service members stationed on Oahu (who are residents of other states) or their spouses were exempt from paying county and state motor vehicle weight taxes and related fees

The exemptions apply to Honolulu County vehicle weight tax, state weight tax, state registration fee, highway beautification fee, and electric vehicle/hybrid/alternative fuel vehicle fees

The study must include estimated annual revenue foregone over the past five fiscal years, projections for the next five years, administrative costs, proportion of total registered vehicles affected, and federal legal constraints

Report findings and recommendations are due to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the Regular Session of 2027
