Bill Summary · HB 1165

Legislative bill overview

HB 1165 is a Hawaii transportation bill introduced by Representative Nadine Nakamura that modifies highway-related policies or procedures. The bill passed its second reading in amended form (HD 1) and was referred to the Water and Land (WAL) committee, where it currently remains as of the 2026 Regular Session.

Why is this important

Highway legislation in Hawaii affects infrastructure maintenance, safety standards, and transportation accessibility across the islands. The bill's progression through committees and subsequent carryover suggests substantive policy changes that require additional deliberation before final passage.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of publicly available bill text – The specific amendments (HD 1) and policy provisions are not detailed in the action summary, making it difficult to assess what exactly changed or what stakeholders oppose
  • Committee votes with reservations – Multiple representatives voted "aye with reservations," indicating incomplete consensus even among supporters about certain provisions
  • Extended timeline – Carryover to 2026 suggests either complexity requiring further study, budget implications, or unresolved disagreements between committees
