Bill Summary · HB 118

Legislative bill overview

HB 118 relates to intergovernmental relations in Hawaii but the specific provisions are not detailed in the available information. The bill was introduced by Representative Greggor Ilagan and has progressed through initial legislative steps, currently carried over to the 2026 session. Without access to the bill's actual text, the precise nature of the intergovernmental coordination or structural changes it proposes cannot be determined.

Why is this important

Intergovernmental relations bills typically address how state, county, and federal entities coordinate on policy implementation, resource sharing, or administrative procedures. Such legislation can affect service delivery efficiency, regulatory consistency, and the allocation of authority across government levels—directly impacting how residents interact with public agencies and services.

Potential points of contention

  • Scope of authority shifts – Changes to intergovernmental coordination may redistribute power between state and county governments, potentially causing jurisdictional disputes
  • Fiscal implications – Intergovernmental relations bills often involve cost-sharing or funding responsibilities that could burden county budgets or state revenues
  • Implementation complexity – Coordinating across multiple government entities increases administrative burden and may create compliance challenges
