Bill Summary · GM 1297

Legislative bill overview

This is a notification bill informing the Hawaii Legislature that Governor signed HB505 HD1 SD2 CD1 into law as Act 197 on June 6, 2025. The bill itself serves as official documentation of the executive action rather than proposing new legislation.

Why this is important

This formal notification ensures the legislative record accurately reflects which bills have been enacted into law and their final versions. It creates an official paper trail for Act 197, which is essential for legal documentation, implementation by state agencies, and public understanding of what is actually law.

Potential points of contention

  • This is a procedural/administrative bill with no substantive policy content, so contention would depend entirely on what HB505 HD1 SD2 CD1 actually contains (which is not detailed in this notice)
  • No inherent controversy exists with the notification process itself
  • The actual policy debate would have occurred during HB505's legislative consideration in prior sessions
