Bill Summary · HB 802

Legislative bill overview

HB 802 is a Hawaii bill relating to non-general funds that was introduced in the 2025 legislative session but has not yet been substantively debated or passed. The bill was referred to the Finance Committee and carried over to the 2026 session, indicating it requires further development or lacks sufficient support for immediate passage.

Why is this important

Non-general funds—revenues designated for specific purposes rather than the state's general treasury—represent a significant portion of Hawaii's budget. How these funds are managed, allocated, or restructured can affect program funding, fiscal flexibility, and the state's ability to address budget shortfalls or priorities.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of bill details: Without access to the full text, the specific mechanisms and proposed changes remain unclear, making it difficult to assess which stakeholders would be affected
  • Budget allocation concerns: Changes to non-general fund structures could redirect resources away from specific programs, affecting education, transportation, or other sectors
  • Transparency and oversight: Questions may arise about whether non-general fund modifications increase or decrease legislative oversight and public accountability
