Bill Summary · HB 1360

Legislative bill overview

HB 1360 is a Hawaii bill relating to land registration that was introduced in January 2025 and referred to the Water and Land (WAL) and Finance (FIN) committees. The bill was carried over to the 2026 Regular Session, meaning it did not advance through the legislative process in the 2025 session and will be considered again in 2026.

Why is this important

Land registration systems are foundational to property ownership, real estate transactions, and tax collection. Changes to Hawaii's registration process could affect property owners, developers, financial institutions, and government revenue collection across the state. Given the referral to both Water and Land and Finance committees, the bill likely addresses substantive issues in how properties are recorded or taxed.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill's specific provisions are not disclosed in available public records, making it difficult to identify which stakeholders may oppose or support it
  • Land registration reforms often involve balancing modernization efforts with protection of existing property rights and historical records
  • Depending on content, the bill could generate debate between government efficiency advocates and those concerned about property owner protections or increased costs
