Informing the Legislature that on June 3, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1422 SD1 HD1 CD1 (ACT 148).
This document is a formal notification (GM 1248) that Governor Josh Green signed SB1422 into law on June 3, 2025. The bill amends Hawaii law to adjust how fees from vital records are distributed:
- $10 for the first certified birth/marriage/divorce/death certificate copy (and $4 for each additional copy)
- $1 from each certificate fee funds child abuse, spouse abuse, and domestic violence prevention programs
- $10 per marriage license fee ($51 remitted total) allocates $32 to the general fund and $10 to the vital statistics improvement fund.
These changes directly affect residents purchasing vital records or marriage licenses, directing specific fees to designated state funds.
