Informing the Legislature that on June 30, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB300 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 250).

The General Appropriations Act of 2025 (HB300) establishes Hawaii's state budget for the fiscal biennium beginning July 1, 2025, and ending June 30, 2027. It allocates specific funding amounts to state agencies like the Department of Education, Department of Health, and others, with spending limits and staffing caps for each fiscal year. The bill defines key terms such as "means of financing" (e.g., general funds, federal funds) and "position ceiling" (maximum staff allowed) to standardize budget tracking across agencies. This budget directly affects all state departments and programs receiving funds, requiring them to operate within the approved financial and staffing parameters.
