Over 3,000 bills were introduced at the legislature in the 2025 session. With amazement and gratitude our HECAA bills are still alive with only one senate version getting deferred. Our senate bill for contracts, SB 1609 has passed out of finance committee and is making to crossover!! Nice work all!!
This week we have our final two house bills being heard. Mahalo to the many advocates that took time to call Rep. Yamashita and other reps to get these bills heard.
