Summary:
The Labor and Workplace Standards Committee held public hearings on several Labor and Industries-related bills. SB 6039 would allow L&I to send notices electronically, with an opt-out option for recipients; the sponsor and L&I described it as a simple modernization and transparency measure. SB 6136 would require L&I to publish actuarially indicated workers’ compensation rates and explain when rate increases are capped below those levels; the sponsor said it would show when reserve funds are used to hold rates down and improve transparency. SB 6188 would expand L&I’s authority to set asbestos certification rules beyond only those specifically required to match federal law; the sponsor and L&I said it was needed to strengthen worker safety and training standards, while a business group raised concern about diverging from federal rules. SB 6014 would make technical fixes to pregnancy and postpartum workplace accommodation law, including a public records exemption for complainants and participants in investigations and a correction to a cross-reference so basic accommodations remain protected without a doctor’s note requirement; a supportive witness said it restored the intended standard and protected privacy. SB 6058 would give L&I discretion to investigate wage complaints under the Wage Payment Act and allow penalties for willful violations when the department initiates an investigation; L&I supported the bill and requested an amendment already adopted in the House companion to reduce costs and avoid conflict with another wage recovery bill.
The committee then took executive action on five bills. E2SSB 5061, requiring annual prevailing wage adjustments in public works contracts, was amended to allow a change order only when the wage increase exceeds 5% and to delay the effective date to July 1, 2028; the committee adopted the effective-date amendment but rejected the change-order amendment, then passed the bill 7-2. SSB 5874, allowing ESD to waive penalties for minor unemployment insurance reporting errors, passed 9-0. SB 5944, making missed-appointment payments part of bargained compensation for language access providers, also passed 9-0. SSB 5972, expanding binding interest arbitration for correctional officers in city and county jails regardless of county size, had two proposed amendments to limit the binding effect and require consideration of employer finances; both were rejected, and the bill passed 8-1. ESSB 6302, requiring L&I to investigate possible misclassification when three or more independent contractors perform finishing work on a public works project, passed 9-0. The committee then adjourned.

Summary:
The Labor and Workplace Standards Committee held public hearings on several labor-related bills. Senate Bill 6197 would change plumbing license suspension standards from three violations in three years to five violations in five years, remove the requirement that the Advisory Board of Plumbers recommend suspension, and require L&I enforcement updates; the sponsor and industry witnesses said the revised version was stakeholder-supported, though some wanted clarification about how prior infractions would be treated. Senate Bill 6134 would require the Employment Security Department to notify striking workers applying for unemployment benefits that they may later owe overpayments if they receive retroactive wages; testimony generally supported the bill as a safeguard. Senate Bill 5292 would replace the PFML program’s statutory look-back premium formula with a forward-looking actuarial rate-setting method while keeping the 1.2% cap; labor, business, and advisory board witnesses supported it, while one policy witness supported the rate-setting change but opposed the added four-month reserve requirement. Senate Bill 6106 would amend the state WARN-style layoff notice law to exempt tribes and protect employee names and addresses from public disclosure; ESD and business supported the privacy and tribal-government changes, while agricultural witnesses asked for a separate seasonal agriculture fix. The committee also heard testimony on SB 6197 from plumbing industry groups, with support for stronger enforcement but disagreement over retroactive treatment of infractions.
In executive session, the committee acted on six bills. It adopted amendments and reported out Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5847, which expands access to medical care in workers’ compensation, including allowing some out-of-network attending providers and authorizing additional claims managers; the bill passed 7-2. Substitute Senate Bill 6014, a cleanup bill correcting a date typo and protecting sensitive L&I records from public disclosure, passed unanimously. Substitute Senate Bill 6039, allowing L&I to use electronic communications while preserving a non-electronic option, also passed unanimously. Engrossed Senate Bill 6058, giving L&I discretion to prioritize wage complaints, passed unanimously after a clarifying amendment. Senate Bill 6136, requiring publication of actuarial indicated workers’ compensation rates and disclosure when rates are set below those levels, passed unanimously. Senate Bill 6188, which would expand L&I’s asbestos rulemaking authority, passed 6-3 after the committee rejected an amendment that would have restored current-law limits and tied rules to the EPA model plan.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Retirement and Government Affairs met to consider two executive nominations and House Bill 1170. Mark Wood was introduced as nominee to lead OMES; he described his background in public accounting and tax administration, said his focus would be on stabilizing the agency, improving efficiency, and balancing accountability with service. Senators asked about OMES’s core mission and whether some duties should be returned to agencies; Wood said he would keep an open mind and work with legislators on possible changes. The committee advanced his nomination on a 9-0 vote.
The committee then heard Dwayne Helmberger’s nomination to the State Fire Marshal Commission. Helmberger, currently Stillwater fire chief and formerly assistant chief in Midwest City, emphasized code administration, education, and coordination with other agencies. Senators questioned him about backlogs in fire marshal inspections for marijuana grow operations and certificates of occupancy; he said the backlog was driven by the volume of applications and could be addressed through better planning, coordination, and logistics. His nomination also advanced unanimously, 9-0.
Finally, the committee considered House Bill 1170, which would direct pension fiduciaries to focus on pecuniary interests and avoid non-financial ESG considerations. Senator Daniels explained that the bill was intended to clarify state policy and align definitions with related measures, and she requested a title strike while continuing to work on the language. Members raised concerns about due process, immunity provisions, and whether the bill would conflict with recent court rulings or still allow consideration of ESG factors when financially relevant. After debate, the committee passed the bill 6-2.

Summary:
The Committee on Consumer Protection and Commerce heard several Senate concurrent resolutions related to utilities, pharmacy access, critical infrastructure, and energy policy. STR 96 SD1 asked the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to report on the progress of the Hawaii Electric Reliability Administrator; the PUC offered written comments and the measure later advanced as is. STR 109 SD1 urged the insurance commissioner to study expanding mail-order pharmacy use. Testimony was split: DCCA’s insurance division, HMSA, and the Hawaii Association of Health Plans supported the study, while Shipa and the Hawaii Pharmacist Association opposed it, arguing mail-order pharmacy is already available and that in-person pharmacist counseling should be preserved. The measure was ultimately deferred.
The committee also heard STR 164 SD1 on protecting Hawaii’s critical infrastructure from foreign influence. Greenpeace Hawaii and 350 Hawaii strongly supported the resolution, framing it as a consumer protection and resilience measure tied to reducing dependence on imports and strengthening local food and energy systems. No opposition was presented, and the resolution was moved out as is. STR 172 SD1 HD1 directed the PUC to conduct a comprehensive analysis of ways to maximize cost reduction and minimize financial risk while meeting state goals. DCCA, the Hawaii State Energy Office, and the PUC offered comments, and Earthjustice supported the measure; it was also advanced as is.
For STR 166 SD1, which concerns how the PUC should evaluate generational energy commitments, DCCA, the Hawaii State Energy Office, and the PUC provided comments, while 350 Hawaii, Greenpeace Hawaii, and others opposed any move toward LNG, arguing it would harm ratepayers and conflict with Hawaii’s renewable goals. After discussion, the committee amended the resolution to add language directing the PUC to evaluate any LNG or other imported-fuel proposal for its potential effects on or delays to the state’s renewable portfolio standards, including the 2045 deadline. The amended resolution then passed, and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection held its final hearing of the session on April 17, 2026, and took up a series of Senate concurrent resolutions focused on environmental protection, waste reduction, and energy policy. Measures discussed included SCR 142 on dust monitoring near Waimanalo Gulch, SCR 39 on a mattress stewardship program, SCR 40 on banning disposable bodyboards, SCR 83 on a lithium-ion battery disposal facility, SCR 168 on a demolition waste reduction working group, SCR 96 on reporting on the Hawaii Electric Reliability Administrator, SCR 166 on PUC considerations for a generational energy commitment, and SCR 172 on a comprehensive analysis to reduce costs and financial risk while meeting state goals.
Testimony was generally supportive of the environmental and waste-management measures. The Department of Health supported SCR 39 and provided comments on SCR 142; Climate Protectors Hawaii supported SCR 39, SCR 83, SCR 168, and SCR 172; the Office of Planning and Sustainable Development and Hawaii Reef and Ocean's Coalition submitted comments or support on SCR 168; and the Public Utilities Commission provided comments on SCR 96 and SCR 166. On SCR 166, Greenpeace Hawaii testified in opposition to LNG, arguing it would worsen pollution and climate impacts, while Earthjustice supported the intent but suggested amendments. Earthjustice also supported SCR 172 and offered friendly amendments to improve the study language.
In decision-making, the chair recommended deferral of SCR 142 because an existing regulatory framework already addresses the issue. The committee then voted to pass SCR 39, SCR 40, SCR 83, SCR 96, and SCR 166 unamended. SCR 168 was passed with amendments to reflect OPSD's requested changes and to make the working group temporary, with a two-year term and annual reports due before session. SCR 172 was passed with amendments accepted from Earthjustice. Rep. Quinlan was noted as excused for the votes, and the committee adjourned after adopting the final recommendation.

Summary:
The Senate Human Services Committee met on February 24 to executive a large docket of bills in two packets, with staff first briefing measures on the Community Protection Program, jail search policies for transgender and intersex individuals, medically tailored meals, community residential service provider reviews, and the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Work Group and Leadership Council. The committee also later heard bills on foster care licensees and adult family home licensure, DOC supervision for stalking convictions, inmate funds, and residential habilitation center transparency, plus a gubernatorial appointment to the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board.
On Substitute House Bill 1390, which would repeal references to the Community Protection Program and transition participants to other services, Senator Christian offered 22 amendments seeking studies, added restrictions, notification requirements, and delays; all were rejected except a technical name-change amendment, and the bill was advanced. On Engrossed House Bill 1604, dealing with searches of transgender and intersex individuals in local jails, nine Christian amendments on private facilities, housing, attorney presence, religious accommodation, liability, medical personnel, staff disclosure, and gender-identity changes were all defeated, and the bill was sent forward. On House Bill 2211, medically tailored meals, a Christian amendment to add a competitive-bidding credit for nonprofits and small businesses failed, and the bill advanced; House Bill 2230, limiting DSHS annual reviews of community residential service providers, moved without amendment. Second Substitute House Bill 2429, extending and restructuring the children and youth behavioral health work group and leadership council, received a Wilson striking amendment and was sent to Ways and Means.
In the second packet, Substitute House Bill 2505, exempting certain foster care licensees from adult family home licensure, passed without amendment, and House Bill 2510, requiring DOC supervision for people convicted of stalking who are sentenced to community custody, also advanced without changes. House Bill 2539, raising the indigent inmate threshold, saw debate over whether the amount should be $50 or $100 and whether the standard should be fixed or adjustable; a Christian amendment to lower the threshold failed, while a Wilson amendment allowing the amount to rise with available funds was adopted, and the bill moved forward. Substitute House Bill 2350, requiring notice when an RHC is out of compliance, received a Christian amendment to email legislative committees, which was adopted, and the bill passed. Finally, the committee recommended confirmation of Corey McNally to the Indeterminate Sentence Review Board.
