Letter dated October 25, 2024, notifying the Legislature that the agreement for the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly Collective Bargaining Unit 7 has been ratified.

This is not a legislative bill but a procedural notification (Governor's Message GM 2) from Governor Green to the Legislature. It informs lawmakers that the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly Collective Bargaining Unit 7 (faculty) agreement was ratified on October 17, 2024, requiring $57.8 million in legislative funding for FY2026-2027 to cover salaries and fringe benefits. The message specifies that costs must be appropriated by the Legislature per state law and notes a future "re-opener" clause for negotiating trust fund contributions during the 2025 session. No new policy is created - this is solely a funding notification for an existing agreement.
