#HB600

Governor Josh Green signed seven bills into law on Thursday, aimed at increasing safety on Hawaiʻi’s roadways.  One of the bills allows driver license renewal online and by mail, and takes effect in two years on July 1, 2025. Another bill establishes a Safe Routes to School Advisory Committee. State officials say Hawaii had 117 traffic fatalities and nearly 600 serious or paralyzing injuries on its roadways last year.

Lawmakers were joined by families of victims, school leaders, and community advocacy groups to announce the passage of key bills that will help end traffic fatalities on our streets. The action comes following multiple traffic fatalities near schools this year.
