Informing the Legislature that on May 27, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB3156 SD1 HD1 CD1 (ACT 043).

This bill authorizes the Hawaii Department of Transportation to enter into agreements with the U.S. Department of Defense to assist with construction, maintenance, and improvement work at federal military installations across the state. The legislation aims to ensure these facilities remain operational and ready to support disaster response efforts, such as providing logistics, transportation, and emergency shelter during natural disasters. By allowing the state to provide these services using federal funding, the bill seeks to enhance public safety without placing a financial burden on state taxpayers.
