Hawaii / State / 2026 Regular Session
Act 18, SLH 2026 (HB 2343 SD1) Repealed the June 30, 2027 deadline for moving the planned Maui state veterans home into a Maui agency
Amended section 3(a) of Act 99 of 2024 so the Maui state veterans home is to be assimilated into a state agency with a Maui affiliation "as soon as practicable" rather than by June 30, 2027, citing logistical, labor and financial issues. The Maui home is a proposed facility; Hilo and Kapolei are the operating homes. Effective on approval in May 2026.
