This bill formally notifies the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed HB2319 into law on May 27, 2026. The legislation amends state statutes to update the definition of health care and expand the responsibilities of the State Health Planning and Development Agency. Key changes include a broader definition of health care that explicitly covers oral, behavioral, and long-term care, as well as new duties for the agency to assess gaps in access, quality, and cost, including the use of artificial intelligence. The bill also mandates that the agency update the state health services and facilities plan at least every four years after consulting with relevant councils.
