Hawaii Legislature PASSES SB 1035, General Excise Tax exemption!
May 1, 2024, will be remembered as a historic day by our medical community, as the Hawaii State Legislature unanimously passed Senate Bill 1035. This measure exempts hospitals, infirmaries, medical clinics, health care facilities, pharmacies, and medical and dental providers from General Excise Tax on goods and services that are reimbursed through Medicare, Medicaid or TRICARE.
Present at the event were Dr K Withy (UH) and Dr J Lewin (SHPDA). From the dental community we had HDA President Rachel DiPasquale and Joseph Mayer who came too. Other attendees included Dr Jerry Garcia (Anesth, Pain) of the Philippine Medical Assoc of Hawaii (PMAH), Dr Laeton Pang (Rad Onc), Dr B Robinson (Neurosurg), Dr A Pratt (Ob Gyn, HMA Immediate Past President) and Dr D Parsa (Pl Surg).
We are deeply grateful for all your hard work for the health of our Hawaii citizens.
