Bill Summary · GM 1391

Legislative bill overview

Bill GM 1391 is a notification measure informing the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed HB126 HD1 SD2 CD1 into law on July 3, 2025, designating it as Act 288. This is a formal legislative communication rather than a substantive policy bill.

Why is this important

The bill serves an essential procedural function by officially recording the Governor's action and creating a formal legislative record of the law's enactment. This documentation is critical for tracking which bills have become law, their effective dates, and the legislative history needed for legal interpretation and implementation.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of substantive details: The notification provides no information about what Act 288 actually does, making it impossible to evaluate its policy merits or impacts without reviewing the original HB126
  • Limited public transparency: Citizens reading only this measure cannot understand the law's content, purpose, or implications
  • Archive-dependent understanding: Full analysis requires cross-referencing multiple legislative documents across different amendment versions (HD1, SD2, CD1)
