Bill Summary · SB 193

Legislative bill overview

SB 193 is a Hawaii crime-related bill that was introduced in the 2025 legislative session but lacks publicly available detailed content in standard legislative databases. The bill has been referred to the Health and Human Services (HHS) and Judiciary (JDC) committees, suggesting it may address crime issues with public health or judicial components. As of December 2025, it was carried over to the 2026 regular session without passage.

Why is this important

The dual committee referral to both HHS and JDC indicates this bill likely addresses an intersection of criminal justice and public health policy—possibly relating to substance abuse crimes, mental health and criminal responsibility, or victim services. Hawaii's legislative outcomes on crime bills can affect sentencing practices, law enforcement procedures, and public safety priorities statewide.

Potential points of contention

  • Insufficient public information: The bill's specific provisions are not detailed in available sources, making it difficult to identify which stakeholder groups would support or oppose it
  • Committee jurisdiction overlap: Referral to both HHS and JDC suggests potential competing priorities between public health and criminal justice approaches
  • Carryover status: The bill's postponement to 2026 may indicate lack of consensus or lower prioritization among legislators
