Informing the Legislature that on May 29, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1008 HD1 CD1 (ACT 111).

This bill (SB1008) authorizes Hawaii counties to create local rules enforcing two types of parking: accessible spaces for people with disabilities and designated electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces. Counties can set requirements for how these spaces are designed, located, and marked, and establish penalties for violations like non-disabled vehicles parking in EV spots or unauthorized use of disability spaces. It directly affects businesses and public facilities that provide parking, requiring them to comply with county ordinances for both disabled-accessible and EV parking. The law aims to prevent misuse of these spaces, ensuring they remain available for their intended users.
