Informing the Legislature that on May 12, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB1029 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 032).

This document is a notification that Governor Green signed HB1029 into law on May 12, 2025, not a new bill. HB1029 allocates specific funding for collective bargaining costs across Hawaii state departments for fiscal years 2025-2027. It provides detailed funding amounts (e.g., $13.8M general funds for FY 2025-2026) from multiple sources like general funds, federal funds, and special funds. The Department of Education receives the largest share of funding for its collective bargaining costs, including $6.55M in general funds for FY 2025-2026. This is a funding authorization bill, not a policy change, directly affecting state departments managing public employee contracts.
