Informing the Legislature that on May 29, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1439 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 127).

HB1439 provides funding for Hawaii's legislative agencies to cover health benefits and other cost adjustments for legislative employees excluded from collective bargaining. It allocates specific sums for the 2025-2027 biennium to offices including the State Ethics Commission, Office of the Auditor, Senate, and House of Representatives. Unspent funds at the end of each fiscal year will expire, and the law takes effect on July 1, 2025. This bill ensures dedicated funding for these non-collectively bargained positions without creating new policies.
