Bill Summary · HB 1383

Legislative bill overview

HB 1383 establishes a Family Resilience Pilot Program in Hawaii designed to support families through comprehensive services and interventions. The bill has passed its second reading with amendments and is currently in the Finance Committee for budget review and final consideration.

Why is this important

Family resilience programs typically address economic stability, mental health support, and social services access—areas that directly affect child welfare, poverty reduction, and community health outcomes. The pilot program structure allows Hawaii to test the program's effectiveness before potential statewide expansion, using data to inform broader policy decisions.

Potential points of contention

  • Funding and costs: The bill's fiscal impact and funding source are not detailed in the legislative history; Finance Committee scrutiny will determine if appropriations are sustainable
  • Program scope and eligibility: Specific eligibility criteria, service types, and target populations are unclear from available information, raising questions about equitable access
  • Pilot duration and evaluation metrics: Success measurement standards and timeline for determining whether the pilot becomes permanent are not specified in the legislative record
