Informing the Legislature that on July 9, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1936 HD2 SD2 (ACT 236).

This document is a formal message from the Governor of Hawaii to the Legislature confirming that he signed Act 236 into law on July 9, 2024. The act requires that mooring lines for vessels at commercial docks, wharves, piers, and similar facilities be secured by workers covered under collective bargaining agreements. This provision aims to ensure that experienced local workers handle these tasks to maintain harbor safety, though it explicitly excludes shipyard and drydock repair activities from this requirement. The law takes effect immediately upon approval but is set to expire on July 1, 2028.
