This bill serves as a procedural notification informing the Hawaii Legislature that the Governor signed SB3225 into law on April 13, 2026. The underlying act, known as ACT 003, is a statutory revision designed to correct errors, clarify language, and remove obsolete provisions from various sections of the Hawaii Revised Statutes. It does not create new policies or programs but rather updates existing legal text to ensure accuracy and consistency across state laws. Consequently, the bill directly affects the state's legal code without introducing new mandates or changing current operational procedures.
