There were 267 pieces of legislation from the 2026 session for Green to consider. <\/p>\n

Green has not yet officially vetoed any measures and is not required to veto every bill on his Intent-to-Veto list. However, he can only veto bills on that list. <\/p>\n

\u201cOf the 267 bills reviewed, only a handful have landed on this list through extensive legal and fiscal analysis,\u201d Green said. \u201cOur assessments are guided by sincere dedication to our community, taking each opinion into consideration, with the goal of making decisions that truly reflect what is best for Hawaii.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Green has until July 15 to issue his final vetoes. All remaining bills will become law on that date.<\/p>\n

The bills being considered for veto, line-item veto, or reductions include one bill relating to housing, one related to emergency funding, and two education bills. <\/p>\n

SB2338 deals with compensation of state housing leaders, is under additional review to see if current provisions can be used to accomplish the same goals. <\/p>\n

SB2600 would deposit funding into Hawaii\u2019s rainy day fund, which is set aside for emergencies.<\/p>\n

In the governor\u2019s written veto rationale, he said, \u201cIt would be financially imprudent to transfer $50 million in general fund money to the emergency budget reserve fund (Rainy Day fund). The current balance of the Rainy Day fund of more than $1.5 billion is the largest it has ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

SB3262 establishes a method for selecting an executive director of the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board.<\/p>\n

The governor said he is further reviewing the bill to prevent ambiguity or confusion about the specific duties of the HTSB and the state Board of Education. <\/p>\n

Lastly, HB2344 would establish a commission to make recommendations regarding school consolidations, realignments, and closures.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the governor\u2019s rationale for veto consideration says further review is needed to determine if the Department of Education and\/or the Board of Education can achieve the goals laid out for the proposed commission. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur team has been working diligently to review the 267 bills passed by the legislature this session, most of which will become law,\u201d Green said.<\/p>\n

In response to the Green\u2019s veto list, House Speaker Nadine Nakamura said in a statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased that because of the collaboration between the House, Senate, and Green Administration, there only four bills on the Intent to Veto list. The House will review the listed measures and determine next steps.\u201d<\/p>\n
