Bill Summary · SB 274

I appreciate your request, but I need to let you know that the bill text for SB 274 isn't included in your submission—only the metadata showing it's about midwives and its referral history.

To provide the balanced, detailed analysis you're asking for, I would need:

  • The actual bill language/summary
  • Specific provisions being proposed
  • Any fiscal notes or impact assessments
  • Committee descriptions of what changes are being made

What I can tell you: The bill is in Hawaii's 2025 legislative session, sponsored by Sen. Ron Kouchi, and has been referred to health and fiscal committees—which suggests it likely involves licensing, scope of practice, or funding for midwifery services. The carry-over to 2026 indicates it didn't pass this session.

Could you provide the bill text or a summary of the specific provisions? That way I can give you a substantive analysis of what's actually being proposed and why it matters.
