Legislative bill overview

SB 1119 is a Hawaii bill relating to motor vehicles that was introduced in the 2025 legislative session. The bill has been referred to multiple committees (Transportation, Culture, and Arts; Consumer Protection and Commerce) and carried over to the 2026 session without final passage, indicating it requires additional review and refinement before consideration.

Why is this important

Motor vehicle legislation affects Hawaii's transportation infrastructure, consumer protections, environmental compliance, and economic activity. The committee referrals to both transportation and consumer protection suggest the bill addresses substantive regulatory or safety matters that impact residents and the automotive industry.
