GM 1206 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Informing the Legislature that on June 8, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB2835 SD1 HD2 CD1 (ACT 106).

This bill streamlines the process for obtaining temporary liquor licenses in Maui for nonprofit fundraising events by removing specific burdensome requirements. It eliminates the need for in-person applications, handwritten signatures, multiple departmental clearances, and separate applications for each parcel of land at a venue. Additionally, the law waives various fees, notarization, and floor plan submissions while allowing the sale of liquor in sealed containers at auctions. These changes aim to reduce costs for community organizations while maintaining basic public safety measures such as requiring liability insurance.
