SR 125 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER TO PRODUCE A DETAILED REPORT REGARDING THE STATE OF THE PRIVATE PROPERTY INSURANCE INDUSTRY IN HAWAIʻI.

This Senate Resolution (SR 125) requests Hawaii's Insurance Commissioner to produce a detailed report on the state of the private property insurance industry. The report must cover insurers' financial health, factors driving premium increases (especially in high-risk areas affected by natural disasters), the likelihood of insurers exiting the market, and recommendations for state action - including potential use of eminent domain - if private insurers withdraw. The resolution aims to inform lawmakers about risks to homeowners and potential solutions, with the report due 20 days before the 2026 legislative session.
