HB 165 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO THE HAWAII LABOR RELATIONS BOARD.

HB 165 authorizes the Hawaii Labor Relations Board to directly enforce its own orders, rather than relying on other entities to implement them. This change affects the Board itself and the employers, unions, or employees subject to its rulings. The key provision eliminates the need for external enforcement, streamlining the process for resolving labor disputes. The bill is effective July 1, 3000, per the official abstract.

MINOR

The bill was reformatted from a House bill to a House Committee version, with the effective date changed from 'upon approval' to 'July 1, 3000' (likely a placeholder or error). The substantive policy content regarding the Hawaii Labor Relations Board's powers remains largely unchanged, though minor punctuation adjustments were made in the enforcement provisions.

TIMELINE
