Summary: The House Committee on Commerce met on March 17, 2026, adopted its rules again because they had not been properly posted on the agenda, and then voluntarily deferred several bills, including HB 580, HB 583, HB 814, and HB 913. The committee then took up a series of bills, with members frequently adopting technical amendments and, in several cases, combining related proposals from different authors into one measure. Several bills were reported favorably after brief debate and no recorded objections. HB 489 by Rep. Gadbury, concerning the Louisiana Uniform Transfer on Death Security Registration Act, was amended to make transfer-on-death registration mandatory rather than permissive and to remove liability-delay language, then reported favorably. HB 545 by Rep. Riser, on consumer loan charges, was narrowed by amendment to focus on origination fees and was reported favorably with support from banking, credit union, business, AARP, and other groups. HB 555 by Rep. Carver, expanding protections against financial exploitation of eligible adults, incorporated language from Rep. Boyd’s similar bill and was reported favorably after testimony from Carver, Boyd, and bankers describing scams, trusted contacts, and temporary transaction delays as safeguards. The committee also advanced HB 797 by Rep. Cruz, creating a Bayou Gold certification program for gold depositories and electronic payment platforms. Members questioned whether the bill created a state-backed bank; Cruz emphasized that it did not, and the bill was amended to clarify terminology and consumer-facing structure before being reported favorably. HB 952 by Rep. Jordan, modernizing consumer loan law, was amended to a three-tier rate structure, add ability-to-repay language, and include disaster-relief and financial literacy provisions; it was then reported favorably. Finally, HB 672 and HB 670 by Rep. Owen, promoting brick manufacturing and wood pellet manufacturing, were both amended to shift LED’s role from setting priorities to supporting recruitment, retention, and expansion within existing authority and available funds, and both bills were reported favorably after testimony about local resources, logistics, jobs, and export potential.

Summary: The committee heard HB 1817, which would create a daily bag limit for amaa/ama fish to protect Hawaii’s fisheries. DLNR said the biggest stressor on amaa populations is diversion of freshwater flows that cut off food sources for juvenile fish, and suggested that place-by-place rulemaking with fishers and stakeholders would be the most effective approach. A teacher and several Waialua Elementary students testified in strong support, describing research on declining catch data, cultural importance, and the need to preserve the fish for future generations. Other supporters said the fish is being outcompeted by invasive species and cited historical declines, including testimony that bag limits in Hilo Bay have helped increase populations. Committee members asked DLNR about traditional and cultural gathering rights, whether the bill’s bag limit would apply to native Hawaiian practices, and whether the limit was 10 per day or per season. DLNR said constitutional Hawaiian practices are protected, but also noted that if the bag limit is set in statute it would limit the department’s flexibility to tailor rules by area. Members also asked about other conservation efforts, and DLNR said fish pond revitalization and amaa production are underway statewide. One member raised concern that a statewide statutory limit might not fit conditions on every island, and DLNR said it has authority to adopt area-specific rules through rulemaking, though that process can take months to more than a year. The committee then moved to HP 206, an appropriations measure for the City and County of Honolulu involving school land transfers, and HP 266B relating to Banyan Drive. On HP 206, the county said the request is a one-time item and estimated costs were about $3.25 million, with the city and county already spending more than $350,000 on the transfers. On HP 266B, HCDA said it is conducting a master planning effort for Banyan Drive and plans a community visioning exercise this summer. Testimony from the Banyan Drive redevelopment agency emphasized the need for more flexible land-tenure rules, while OHA supported the bill with amendments to include cultural specialists and lineal descendants in the redevelopment process and to protect ceded lands. No votes were taken in the portion of the meeting provided.
