Bill Summary · SB 1105

Legislative bill overview

SB 1105 is a Hawaii bill relating to the state hospital system that was introduced in January 2025 and referred to the Health and Human Services (HHS) and Ways and Means (WAM) committees. The bill was carried over to the 2026 legislative session, indicating it did not advance to a vote during the 2025 session.

Why is this important

Hawaii's state hospital serves as the primary psychiatric and mental health inpatient facility for the state, making legislation affecting its operations significant for mental health care access and quality. The referral to both HHS and WAM committees suggests the bill involves both operational/clinical matters and budgetary considerations, indicating potential fiscal or structural changes.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill's specific provisions are not detailed in the available information, making it difficult to identify exact areas of disagreement without access to the full text
  • Referral to WAM indicates potential budget implications that could face fiscal scrutiny during committee review
  • Mental health facility legislation often involves debates over staffing levels, patient capacity, treatment standards, and funding priorities
