Bill Summary · GM 1363

Legislative bill overview

Bill GM 1363 is an informational measure notifying the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed Senate Bill 951 (SB 951 SD2 HD2 CD1) into law on July 1, 2025, officially designating it as Act 260. This is a procedural notification bill rather than substantive legislation.

Why is this important

This notification ensures the Legislature has formal record that the governor has signed the measure into law, establishing its official act number and effective date. While primarily administrative, such notifications are essential for legislative record-keeping and tracking the status of bills through the legislative process.

Potential points of contention

  • Limited visibility into Act 260's content: The informational bill itself does not detail what SB 951 actually does, making it difficult for the public to understand the substantive policy change without separately researching the original bill
  • Procedural formality versus transparency: Some may question whether separate informational bills add bureaucratic steps without meaningful public communication
  • Act 260 implications unknown: Without access to SB 951's text in this document, stakeholders cannot assess whether the signed law addresses their concerns or interests
