He felt more discussion was needed before moving forward. But before that, he approved three other bills he’d initially considered vetoing: one expanding housing agency hiring flexibility, another creating a school realignment commission, and a third funding the general fund. On the general fund bill, SB 2600, he changed his mind — opting not to move all funds into the emergency reserve due to disaster recovery needs, federal funding uncertainty, and rising costs. Hawaii’s Rainy Day fund now sits at over $1.6 billion — a record high — and is projected to earn more than $50 million in interest by 2027. New e-bike laws now require helmets for riders under 18 and set 15 as the minimum age. And to close, Green signed a clean fuel standard bill aimed at slashing transportation emissions and shrinking Hawaii’s carbon footprint — a major step toward cleaner energy for the islands.
