Bill Summary · GM 1423

Legislative bill overview

Bill GM 1423 is an informational measure notifying the Hawaii Legislature that Governor signed SB933 SD2 HD1 CD1 into law on July 9, 2025, designating it as Act 310. This is a procedural document rather than substantive legislation—it formally communicates to lawmakers that a previously passed bill has received executive approval.

Why is this important

This type of measure creates an official legislative record confirming that a bill has completed the lawmaking process and become statute. The multiple designations (SD2, HD2, CD1) indicate the bill went through several committee amendments in both chambers before final passage. For citizens and government agencies, this notification ensures clarity about which bills are now enforceable law.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of substantive details: This bill provides no information about what Act 310 actually does, making it impossible to assess its policy impact from this document alone
  • Limited transparency: Citizens reading only this bill would need to separately research SB933 to understand the law's content and effects
  • Procedural redundancy: Some argue such notification bills are unnecessary administrative formalities that add to legislative volume without substantive value
