Informing the Legislature that on June 9, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1052 HD1 SD2 CD1 (ACT 202).

This is not a bill but a governor's message (GM 1303) announcing the enactment of **HB1052 (ACT 202)** into law on June 9, 2025. The actual bill (HB1052) revives Hawaii's Universal Service Program to provide funding and clear authority for the Public Utilities Commission to support telecommunications access for people with print disabilities. It specifically requires the Commission to ensure free, disability-friendly telephonic access to time-sensitive information (like emergency alerts, government notices, and job opportunities) for blind or visually impaired residents. This law directly affects individuals with print disabilities across Hawaii by restoring a critical service previously unavailable due to an inactive program and lack of funding.
