Summary:
The committee took up House File 3426, an LCCMR bill, and focused on amendments while noting that the bill would be laid over for further work. Members said they were still negotiating one additional section, including guardrails to work with the DNR, and that the bill would return the following week.
The committee adopted the A10 amendment, which addressed the “critical and emerging issues” account and was described as adding guardrails so the account would be used for truly emerging issues rather than as a fallback funding pot. The A11 amendment was also adopted after discussion; it added funding for the community grants appropriation and required applicants to provide a surety bond, with supporters describing it as an accountability measure for the new program.
Several members expressed support for the amendments and for continuing to refine the bill, while one member initially indicated the A11 was not yet supported before the committee clarified the position and proceeded. No final vote on the bill itself was taken; instead, the motion to lay over House File 3426, as amended, carried so the committee could continue work on the remaining section and bring the bill back later.

Summary:
The Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce met on January 29, 2025, and heard testimony on HB 108, which concerns intoxicating liquor and would expand direct-to-consumer shipping for beer and spirits. Supporters included representatives of Koloa Rum Company, Maui Brewing Company, and Ola Brew, who argued the bill would modernize alcohol laws, help small local producers compete, support jobs and local agriculture, and give consumers more access to Hawaii-made products. They also said Hawaii already has experience regulating direct wine shipments, with age verification and carrier-based delivery systems in place, and that direct shipping could help businesses reach visitors after they return home and diversify beyond tourism.
Opposition came from the Hawaii Public Health Institute, whose representative said the bill could increase access for underage drinking, especially because liquor commissions do not currently conduct compliance checks on alcohol shipments and may lack capacity to do so. The group also raised tax-enforcement concerns, saying the existing three-tier system makes excise and sales tax collection easier, while direct shipping would require additional auditing. They urged the committee to oppose the bill or defer it until more research is done, and suggested a common carrier reporting requirement to help reconcile shipments.
Committee members questioned both sides about whether current law already allows some alcohol shipments, whether a Kentucky distiller could ship directly to Hawaii, and how reciprocity with other states would work. Supporters said the bill is modeled on wine-shipping language and could be amended to clarify reciprocity, while opponents said the bill lacks a common carrier reporting requirement and would place a burden on county liquor commissions. No vote or final action on HB 108 was taken during the portion of the meeting provided.
