Summary:
As in years past energetic dialog on bills and other initiatives ended with a number of bills passed after review, debate, and public comment. The infusion of revenues as a result of the economic rehabilitation made the 2022 legislative session most challenging. Balancing the State budget and meeting the needs of constituents across the Hawaii for the provision of basic necessities, with inflation, increased food and fuel, increasing demands for affordable housing and shelter, supply chain issues, and other developments domestic and international, was difficult. In addition to fiscal issues, other topics discussed and developed into legislation included climate change, social services for the unserved and underserved, education, and public health and safety.
Get an update on legislation that was passed during the regular session and a veto summary, and a glimpse of what is anticipated for the 2023 legislative session which convenes in January.
