Informing the Legislature that on April 22, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1202 (ACT 019).

This document (GM 1119) is a notification that Governor Green signed SB1202 (ACT 019) into law on April 22, 2025. SB1202 amends Hawaii campaign finance rules to allow candidates' committees to use campaign funds for two key purposes: (1) child care or household dependent care costs directly tied to campaign activities (with strict limits), and (2) donations to community organizations, schools, libraries, or scholarships - capped at twice the maximum individual contribution allowed under state law. These changes apply directly to candidates and their campaign committees during election periods. The law restricts certain spending (like event tickets) and requires reimbursement for personal use of campaign-purchased items.
