Bill Summary · HB 1327

Legislative bill overview

HB 1327 is a Hawaii bill introduced by representatives Kim Coco Iwamoto, Amy Perruso, and Elle Cochran that relates to fees, though the specific fee provisions are not detailed in the available information. The bill was introduced in January 2025, passed first reading, and has been referred to three committees: Water and Land (WAL), Judiciary and Hawaiian Affairs (JHA), and Finance (FIN). It was carried over to the 2026 Regular Session without being enacted.

Why is this important

Fee-related legislation can affect government funding mechanisms, business operations, or consumer costs depending on which fees are being modified. The bill's referral to Finance, Water and Land, and Judiciary committees suggests it may impact government revenues, environmental management, or legal proceedings—areas with broad public consequences. Without the bill's specific text, the practical significance cannot be fully assessed.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of available details: The bill summary provided contains no specifics about which fees are affected, whether they increase or decrease, or their intended purpose
  • Multi-committee jurisdiction: Referral to three different committees suggests complexity or cross-cutting impacts that could create coordination challenges
  • Broad title: "Relating to fees" is extremely vague and could encompass anything from administrative charges to environmental levies
