Informing the Legislature that on June 24, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2094 HD1 SD1 CD1 (ACT 126).

This document is a formal notification from the Governor of Hawaii to the legislature confirming that HB2094, known as Act 126, was signed into law on June 24, 2026. The bill directly affects jurors and prospective jurors by increasing their daily compensation for court attendance from a previous amount to $50. It also establishes a mileage reimbursement system where individuals receive either 33 cents per mile traveled or the cost of an adult bus fare, whichever is higher, even if they are later excused from service. To fund these increased payments, the state appropriates $684,385 from general revenues for the 2026-2027 fiscal year to be used by the judiciary. The new provisions regarding payment and reimbursement are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
