Informing the Legislature that on June 3, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1298 SD2 HD2 CD1 (ACT 162).

This document (GM 1262) is a notification that Governor Green signed **SB1298** (Act 162) into law on June 3, 2025. The law amends Hawaii’s recycling statutes by **redefining "electronic device"** to include computers, monitors, TVs (9+ inches), peripherals (keyboards, mice, speakers), and video game consoles, while **excluding** items like car parts, medical equipment, appliances (e.g., refrigerators), and telephones. It also **redefines "manufacturer"** to cover companies that sell electronics under their own brand, import them, or manufacture without branding. These changes directly affect **electronics manufacturers** and importers, requiring them to manage recycling for covered devices under Hawaii’s extended producer responsibility program.
