Bill Summary · HB 1124

Legislative bill overview

HB 1124 is a Hawaii bill introduced by Representative Nadine Nakamura that relates to the Department of Health, though the specific provisions are not detailed in the available legislative action summary. The bill was introduced in January 2025, referred to the Health (HLT) and Finance (FIN) committees, and carried over to the 2026 legislative session for continued consideration.

Why is this important

Bills referred to both Health and Finance committees typically address healthcare policy with fiscal implications for the state budget. The carryover to 2026 suggests either that the measure requires additional deliberation or that competing legislative priorities limited floor time in the 2025 session.

Potential points of contention

  • Without access to the bill's text, the specific policy changes and their impact on healthcare delivery or public health cannot be assessed
  • Finance committee referral indicates potential budget constraints or cost concerns that may have prompted further review
  • The carryover status suggests the bill may have faced procedural delays or lacked consensus for immediate passage
