Bill Summary · GM 1314

Legislative bill overview

Bill GM 1314 is a notification measure informing the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed HB1231 HD1 SD1 CD1 into law on June 25, 2025, designating it as Act 212. This is a procedural document rather than substantive legislation—it serves as official record of an executive action.

Why is this important

The formal notification ensures legislative records accurately reflect which bills have been enacted into law and their official designations. Act 212 now becomes binding law in Hawaii, though this measure itself doesn't reveal what policy changes Act 212 implements without reviewing the underlying HB1231 bill text.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of transparency in this document: GM 1314 provides no information about HB1231's actual content, making it impossible to assess the substantive policy impact from this notification alone
  • Need for source bill review: Citizens and legislators must cross-reference HB1231's full legislative history to understand what Act 212 actually does
  • Timing lag: If there's significant time between passage and this notification, stakeholders may not immediately know when laws take effect
