Informing the Legislature that on July 5, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2284 SD2 HD1 CD1 (ACT 200).

This message from the Governor informs the Hawaii Legislature that Act 200, which establishes a wildfire forecast system using artificial intelligence, has been signed into law. The University of Hawaii is tasked with creating a two-year program to develop this system, which aims to predict wildfire risks across the state to improve public safety and help residents prepare for evacuations. To fund this initiative, $1,000,000 was appropriated from state general revenues for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The University must submit a report on the program's progress and findings to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the start of the 2026 regular session.
