HB 2106 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES.

HB 2106 expands who must publicly disclose their financial information by adding new categories of individuals or entities to existing disclosure requirements. This means more people, such as certain officials or contractors, will need to report their financial interests to the public under this bill. The key mechanism is simply broadening the current list of those subject to these public financial disclosure rules.

MINOR

It also clarifies the titles of required filers and adjusts the effective date of the law to July 1, 2027.

The scope of the bill was expanded to include executive leadership of additional state boards and commissions, and the list of required titles was broadened to cover various designations for similar roles.
