Bill
SB 1314
Hawaii SB 1314 establishes or modifies firearms reporting requirements; passed committee 4-1 but stalled in 2026 session, balancing safety oversight with ownership privacy concerns.
SB 1314 relates to firearms reporting requirements in Hawaii, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the legislative actions provided. Based on the bill number and title, it likely establishes or modifies procedures for reporting firearms-related incidents, transfers, or ownership to state authorities. The bill passed its Public Safety and Military Affairs (PSM) committee with a 4-1 vote in February 2025 and was referred to the Judiciary Committee before being carried over to the 2026 legislative session.
Firearms reporting mechanisms affect public safety data collection, law enforcement's ability to track weapons, and compliance with state gun regulations. Hawaii already has some of the nation's strictest gun laws, so this bill would likely either strengthen existing reporting requirements or close perceived gaps in the current system. The outcome influences how effectively the state can monitor firearms and respond to safety concerns.
