Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
2 instruments in Hawaii. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.
A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.
▲Expands benefitsExtends Hawaii National Guard tuition assistance to graduate degrees at the University of Hawaii.
Amended HRS 121-45(a)(2) so the adjutant general may award tuition assistance, subject to the availability of funds, to qualifying enlisted members, warrant officers and company grade officers working toward undergraduate or graduate degrees at the University of Hawaii. Effective July 1, 2026. The published HRS still prints the undergraduate-only text.
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.
