House Democrats celebrate passage and funding of Majority Package Bills
House Democrats celebrated the successful advancement of the 2025 House Majority Package on Wednesday, with all seven bills now either passing final reading in both legislative chambers, adopted through companion legislation, or funded through the state budget. All measures now await the governor’s signature.
House majority bills cross over to Senate
The Hawaiʻi House of Representatives has approved all seven bills in the House Majority Package on third reading ahead of the first crossover deadline on Thursday. The bills move on to the Senate for further consideration.
House Majority top priorities for 2023 legislative session include affordable housing
The House Majority will continue to support funding to build more affordable rental and for-sale housing for low- and moderate-income families in Hawai’i. The State legislature’s past investments will yield over 7,000 affordable housing units over the next few years. Due to the length of time it takes to develop housing, supply chain issues, and inflation, the House believes financing must be in place to keep the pipeline of affordable housing projects moving forward.
Eight New Members Join House of Representatives
The group includes six men and two women, ranging in age from their 20s to 50s. One is a returning lawmaker; two new members represent their Hawaiʻi Island communities; two new members represent Windward O‘ahu; and three new members will represent different portions of urban Honolulu.
