Bill > SB2462

This bill increases the amount individuals can voluntarily contribute to the Hawaii Election Campaign Fund through a state income tax check-off, which is a designated portion of one's state income tax liability that can be directed to support campaign financing. Specifically, the bill raises the maximum designation for individuals filing a single return from $3 to $6, provided they have at least $6 in state income tax liability, and for spouses filing a joint return, it increases the maximum designation from $6 to $12, requiring a minimum joint state income tax liability of $12. This change aims to adjust the contribution amounts to reflect inflation since the check-off was first established in 1979 and last updated in 2008, ensuring the fund's value keeps pace with economic changes.
