Bill Summary · HB 255

Legislative bill overview

HB 255 is an insurance-related bill introduced in the Hawaii House of Representatives by Representatives Cory Chun and Scot Matayoshi. The bill was introduced in January 2025, passed its first reading, and was referred to the Consumer Protection and Commerce (CPC) and Finance (FIN) committees. It was carried over to the 2026 regular session without final passage in 2025.

Why is this important

Without access to the bill's specific text, the precise impact cannot be determined. However, insurance legislation typically affects Hawaii residents' access to coverage, premium costs, consumer protections, and insurer obligations. The referral to both CPC and FIN committees suggests the bill addresses both consumer protection and fiscal implications.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill's specific provisions remain unclear from available records; substantive analysis requires access to the full legislative text
  • Committee referral to both CPC and FIN indicates potential disagreement between consumer protection goals and fiscal/business concerns
  • Carryover to 2026 suggests possible complications, competing priorities, or unresolved stakeholder concerns during the 2025 session
