Budget & Taxes (State Budget)

This document is a formal proclamation from the Governor of Hawaii notifying the Legislature that he plans to veto specific funding items in House Bill 1800. The bill relates to the state budget and was presented to the Governor shortly before the legislative session ended. Under state constitutional rules, the Governor must issue this notice when returning a budget bill with objections less than ten days before the session concludes. The Governor states that certain appropriations within the bill are unacceptable and intends to strike them out or reduce them. This action directly affects the state's budget by preventing the passage of specific funding measures included in the original legislation.
