Bill Summary · HB 264

Legislative bill overview

HB 264 is a Hawaii family court bill introduced by Representatives David Alcos and Diamond Garcia that has been referred to the House committees on Social Services and Human Services (HSH) and Judiciary (JHA) for review. The bill was carried over to the 2026 Regular Session, meaning its specific provisions were not enacted during the 2025 session and will be revisited in the next legislative cycle.

Why is this important

Family court legislation affects critical areas including child custody, support orders, adoption proceedings, and domestic relations matters that directly impact families across Hawaii. Because the bill's specific text and amendments are not detailed in the action history provided, the actual real-world implications depend on what substantive changes the bill proposes to family court procedures or standards.

Potential points of contention

  • Without access to the bill's full text, it's unclear whether proposed changes address custody standards, judicial efficiency, or family support mechanisms—each generating different stakeholder concerns
  • Referral to both Social Services/Human Services and Judiciary committees suggests potential overlap or competing policy frameworks that may require reconciliation
  • The carryover to 2026 indicates the bill faced scheduling pressures or unresolved committee discussions that prevented passage in 2025
