Bill Summary · HB 1336

Legislative bill overview

HB 1336 relates to campaign contributions in Hawaii but the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information. Based on its referral to the Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs (JHA) and Finance (FIN) committees, it likely addresses contribution limits, disclosure requirements, or related campaign finance regulations. The bill was introduced in January 2025 and carried over to the 2026 session without passage.

Why is this important

Campaign finance regulations directly affect political participation, transparency, and the influence of money in elections. Changes to contribution rules can impact candidates' fundraising abilities, voter access to information about funding sources, and perceptions of political integrity. Hawaii's specific approach influences both state and local election dynamics.

Potential points of contention

  • Whether the bill increases or decreases contribution limits, affecting candidates' fundraising capacity and small-donor participation
  • Disclosure and transparency requirements, which involve balancing public access to funding information against donor privacy concerns
  • Whether provisions apply equally to all candidate types (state, local, judicial) and all entity types (individuals, corporations, nonprofits)
