Bill Summary · SB 430

Legislative bill overview

SB 430 is a Hawaii taxation bill sponsored by Senator Karl Rhoads that passed the Senate with unanimous support in February 2025. The bill was referred to the House Finance Committee in March 2025 and subsequently carried over to the 2026 Regular Session, meaning it did not advance further in the 2025 session.

Why is this important

The bill's specific provisions are not detailed in the available legislative history, making it difficult to assess real-world impact without access to the full bill text. However, its unanimous Senate passage (25-0) suggests broad bipartisan support for whatever tax measures it contains. The carryover to 2026 indicates the House did not prioritize it during the 2025 session.

Potential points of contention

  • Bill text unavailability: The legislative summary provided does not specify what tax changes SB 430 actually proposes, limiting public understanding of its provisions
  • Lack of House action: No House committee votes or floor action occurred in 2025, suggesting possible disagreement or deprioritization despite Senate approval
  • Amendment history: The bill was amended in Senate (SD 1) before passage, indicating negotiation occurred, but the nature of those amendments is not documented here
