Informing the Legislature that on May 13, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2069 HD1 SD1 (ACT 019).

This bill officially notifies the Hawaii Legislature that the Governor signed Act 019 into law on May 13, 2024. The act updates the Department of Accounting and General Services to include new responsibilities such as managing state risk, overseeing fleet acquisitions, and providing centralized computer services. A key provision mandates that all new passenger cars purchased for the state fleet must be zero-emission vehicles starting January 1, 2022, with a requirement for all light-duty trucks and SUVs to follow suit by January 1, 2030. The law also grants the comptroller discretion to exempt vehicle purchases if zero-emission options are too expensive or unsuitable for specific needs. These changes take effect on July 1, 2024.
