Informing the Legislature that on June 27, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2577 HD1 SD1 (ACT 105).

This bill informs the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed HB2577 into law on June 27, 2024. The legislation amends an existing statute to update how the Department of Health reports COVID-19 cases in schools. It requires the Department of Health to publish weekly reports on schools with positive test results, including the school name, the date of the positive test, and the last date the individual was on campus. The bill also ensures that these reports do not include personally identifiable information unless a specific health or safety emergency is determined to exist.
