Informing the Legislature that on April 10, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB392 HD1 (ACT 018).

This bill defines "ghost gun" as a firearm frame or receiver without a federally registered serial number (excluding permanently inoperable ones). It imposes mandatory minimum prison terms for using ghost guns during felony crimes, with sentences ranging from 3 years for Class C felonies to 15 years for second-degree murder. Repeat offenders or those with prior firearm convictions face longer mandatory sentences (e.g., 20 years for murder). The law directly affects individuals convicted of felonies involving ghost guns, increasing penalties for such offenses under Hawaii law.
