Bill Summary · SB 1150

Legislative bill overview

SB 1150 is a Hawaii health care bill sponsored by Troy Hashimoto that was introduced in the 2025 legislative session. The bill underwent committee review and amendments but was deferred by both the Judiciary and Defense Committee (JDC) and Ways and Means Committee (WAM) in February 2025, ultimately being carried over to the 2026 Regular Session without passage.

Why is this important

Health care legislation in Hawaii can affect access, affordability, and delivery of medical services for state residents. The deferral and carryover suggest either lack of consensus on the bill's provisions or resource constraints, indicating potential controversy or complexity that requires further deliberation before the legislature considers it again.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill's specific provisions were not disclosed in the legislative record provided, making it unclear whether the deferrals relate to cost implications, jurisdictional disagreements, or substantive policy disagreements
  • The involvement of both JDC and WAM suggests the bill likely contains both legal/regulatory and fiscal components that may have competing priorities
  • The deferral rather than outright rejection indicates unresolved issues that could resurface in 2026, potentially with significant revision needed
