Informing the Legislature that on July 9, 2024, the Governor returned the following bill without approval: SB2557 SD1 HD1 CD1
This document is a veto message from Governor Josh Green regarding Senate Bill 2557, which would have allowed courts to appoint attorneys for individuals facing petitions for assisted community treatment. The Governor returned the bill without approval because he deemed it redundant, noting that similar provisions were already enacted in House Bill 2159. Consequently, the bill does not become law and does not change the current legal representation rules for mental health proceedings in Hawaii.
