Bill Summary · HB 1402

Legislative bill overview

HB 1402 is a Hawaii bill relating to children that was introduced in January 2025 but currently lacks publicly available detailed text or specific provisions. The bill has progressed through initial readings and been referred to multiple committees (Health, Consumer Protection & Commerce, and Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs) before being carried over to the 2026 session.

Why is this important

Without access to the bill's actual text, the specific real-world impact cannot be determined. However, given the multiple committee referrals—particularly to Health and Judiciary—this likely addresses a substantive policy area affecting children in Hawaii, whether related to welfare, protection, education, or healthcare.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of transparency: The bill's detailed provisions are not publicly accessible through standard legislative databases, making it difficult for constituents to understand and weigh in on what they're being asked to support.
  • Broad jurisdictional referral: The three-committee referral suggests potential overlap or complexity that may indicate disagreement about the bill's proper scope.
  • Extended timeline: Carryover to 2026 may indicate insufficient support, need for revision, or competing legislative priorities.
