Gov. Green to Review Veto List of 19 Bills From 2025 Legislative Session
- Hawaiʻi Governor Josh Green announced in Honolulu on Friday his intent to veto 19 bills from the 2025 legislative session.
- Green cited a high volume of passed bills, recent downgraded state tax revenue forecasts, and uncertainties from federal policies as reasons for his review.
- The veto list includes House Bill 958 regulating high-speed electric bicycles, the state budget bill HB 300, and measures on tax credits, historic property, land swaps, and medical marijuana.
- Green noted concerns that HB 796 would sunset critical income tax credits after five years, risking negative impacts on film, research, and renewable energy sectors.
- Final veto decisions must occur by July 9, 2025, after which 101 other bills will become law, with a special legislative session likely this fall to adjust the state budget.
