House Speaker Scott K. Saiki, Majority Leader Nadine K. Nakamura, and Minority Leader Lauren Matsumoto announced the establishment of six interim House working groups tasked with the crucial responsibility of evaluating specific topics related to the Lahaina wildfire and making recommendations for appropriate legislative action in the 2024 Legislative Session. Working groups will focus on: environmental remediation; food, water and other supplies; jobs and businesses; schools; shelter; and wildfire prevention.
While Gov. Green is not required to issue a veto for every bill on the intent to veto list, all bills not included in the list will become law by July 11.
The House’s ACT 279 Working Group will convene on Thursday to discuss the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands’ execution of $600 million in appropriated funds to address the urgent needs of its beneficiary waiting list.
