Informing the Legislature that on May 19, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB871 HD1 SD1 (ACT 074).

This document is a governor's message (GM 1174) confirming that Governor Green signed HB871 into law on May 19, 2025. HB871 clarifies the effective date for Act 130 (2024), which increased Hawaiian Home Lands direct loan limits from 50% to 75% of HUD's maximum single-residence loan amount. The bill ensures this increase takes effect either when the U.S. Secretary of the Interior notifies Congress that Act 130 meets federal criteria, or when Congress approves it. This directly affects Native Hawaiian borrowers seeking home loans through the Hawaiian Home Lands program. The policy change is procedural, confirming when an existing funding increase becomes operational.
