SB 1309 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE, ITS OFFICERS, OR ITS EMPLOYEES.

SB 1309 allocates state funds to pay approved claims against the state, its officers, or employees. It authorizes specific payments for valid claims that have been reviewed and approved by the state. The bill directly affects individuals or entities that have filed successful claims against the state government, ensuring they receive funding for settled cases. This is a routine funding measure to cover existing legal obligations, not a new policy or rule change.
