Bill Summary · HB 1428

Legislative bill overview

HB 1428 is a Hawaii housing-related bill introduced by Representative Nadine Nakamura that passed the House Committee on Housing with amendments in March 2025. The bill was carried over to the 2026 Regular Session after advancing through initial readings, indicating it did not complete the full legislative process in the 2025 session.

Why is this important

Housing is a critical issue in Hawaii due to high costs and limited affordable inventory that affect residents across income levels. Legislative action on housing policy directly impacts affordability, development, and access to shelter for Hawaii's communities.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill's carryover to 2026 suggests either incomplete support or competing legislative priorities that prevented final passage in 2025
  • Without the bill's full text, the nature of housing issues being addressed (affordability requirements, zoning changes, developer incentives, etc.) remains unspecified
