introduced · Hawaii · Senate Jul 10, 2026

GM 1324: Informing the Legislature that on July 9, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB3132 SD1 HD2 CD1 (ACT 222).

This bill requires all hospitals with emergency departments in Hawaii to report de-identified patient data to the state Department of Health for syndromic surveillance. The collected information, which includes chief complaints, diagnoses, and visit dates, will be used to automatically detect disease outbreaks and public health threats without revealing individual identities. By establishing a state-run reporting program, the legislation allows the Department of Health to customize data analysis for local needs and reduces reliance on a voluntary federal system. This change aims to improve the state's ability to respond quickly to health emergencies, including pandemics, natural disasters, and other public health concerns.

This bill directs the Executive Office on Aging to create a detailed plan for studying how to pay for long-term care services in Hawaii. The study will examine various public and private financing options to determine which methods are feasible and cost-effective for the state's growing senior population. To carry out this work, the bill authorizes the office to hire the University of Hawaii to develop the study's framework and provides specific funding for these efforts. Ultimately, the legislation aims to gather data-driven insights before establishing a new long-term care financing program.

GM 1348: Informing the Legislature that on July 14, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1973 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 246).

This bill establishes a one-year pilot program called KupunAloha to provide in-home health care and support services to elderly individuals in Hawaii who cannot afford care and do not qualify for existing government assistance. The Department of Health will manage the program by creating care plans for eligible applicants, contracting with healthcare providers, and setting specific income and need criteria, while excluding those already covered by Medicaid or other aid. A total of $2 million is appropriated from state general revenues to fund the initiative, which is authorized to run from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. Before the program ends, the Department of Health must submit a report to the legislature evaluating its effectiveness and offering recommendations on whether to make the program permanent.

GM 1320: Informing the Legislature that on July 9, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1864 HD2 SD2 CD1 (ACT 218).

This bill mandates that health and hospital insurance policies issued or renewed in Hawaii after December 31, 2026, must cover standard fertility preservation services for individuals undergoing medically necessary treatments that could cause infertility. The law requires insurers to follow established clinical guidelines and prohibits them from denying coverage based on prior diagnoses, life expectancy, disability, or other health conditions. However, the mandate does not apply to experimental procedures, assisted reproduction technologies like donor eggs or surrogacy, or the ongoing storage of frozen reproductive material.

HR 9814: 988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act of 2026

The 988 Lifeline Location Improvement Act of 2026 directs the Federal Communications Commission to study how to require callers to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline to send their precise location information to emergency responders. This requirement would primarily affect telecommunications companies, 911 service providers, and crisis centers that currently handle calls from users who may not be able to verbally state their address. The bill also asks the Government Accountability Office to produce a report on the legal, technical, and financial challenges of implementing such a system, including considerations for privacy and accessibility for users with hearing loss. By mandating these studies, the legislation aims to gather necessary data before deciding on a policy to ensure callers can be routed to local help more effectively.

S 4946: Health and Location Data Protection Act of 2026

The Health and Location Data Protection Act of 2026 prohibits data brokers from buying, selling, or sharing personal location and health information, while allowing exceptions for authorized disclosures, HIPAA-compliant activities, and newsworthy public interest reporting. The Federal Trade Commission is tasked with defining specific data categories and enforcing these rules, with penalties including civil fines up to 15 percent of a company's revenue and the ability for the FTC, state attorneys general, and private individuals to sue for violations. This legislation applies to entities that trade data collected from others rather than directly from individuals, and it preempts only state laws that require the disclosure of data this bill forbids.
