URGING THE LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE BUREAU TO CONDUCT A STUDY ON THE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND FISCAL IMPACT OF THE KAPIOLANI HOSPITAL NURSES STRIKE AND LOCKOUT TO THE STATE.
HCR 29 is a concurrent resolution urging the Legislative Reference Bureau to study the economic, social, and fiscal impacts of the September 2024 Kapiolani Medical Center nurses' strike and 22-day lockout. The resolution seeks to analyze costs to taxpayers, patient safety, and staffing challenges, including the use of more expensive traveling nurses during the labor disruption. It does not change laws but requests a report for the 2026 legislative session to inform future policy decisions. The study directly affects state budget planning, hospital operations, and healthcare workforce conditions.
