#governor ige veto

The governor is vetoing 26 bills and line-item vetoing two bills out of the 30 bills listed on his Intent to Veto list released on June 27.

Governor David Ige today announced that he has vetoed 26 of the 28 bills on his Intent to veto list. Earlier today, the governor sent a Statement of Objections for each of the 26 bills to the Hawai‘i State Legislature.

Governor David Ige has notified House and Senate leaders of his final veto list, which includes five of the six measures that were on the Intent to Veto list submitted to lawmakers on Aug. 31.

Governor David Ige will veto 18 of 20 bills on his Intent to Veto list, and allow two items to become law without his signature.

Governor Ige on Thursday night issued a statement in response to the legislative override of his earlier veto of Senate Bill 2077 relating to Maui hospitals.

Governor Ige has informed the legislature of his intent to veto a list of eight bills. Noticeably absent from the list was the controversial marijuana dispensaries bill, which the governor continues to review. “There are concerns in terms of the implementation. The implementation schedule is very aggressive. We’ll be working very hard to meet those deadlines, but resources made available to the department as well as the aggressive schedule will be a challenge. So, I’m committed to implementing the law in the best way that we can,” said Gov. Ige.
