AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution directs the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to conduct a study to estimate the amount of money the state of Hawaii could collect in taxes if recreational marijuana were legalized and taxed at the same rate as the current general excise tax. The study should project revenue over a five-year period, involve consultation with relevant public and private entities, and the findings, along with any legislative proposals, must be submitted to the state Legislature by January 2024. This request comes in the context of other states having already legalized or decriminalized marijuana, leading to significant tax revenue.
