HB 23 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER.

HB 23 changes the position of Insurance Commissioner from an appointed role to an elected one, effective starting with the 2026 general election. This bill directly affects the Insurance Commissioner position, shifting selection from executive appointment to voter choice. The key provision requires the Insurance Commissioner to be elected by the public beginning in 2026, replacing the current appointment process. This is a structural change to how the office is filled, with no other policy provisions detailed in the abstract.
