#SB222

The passage of House Bills 1483 and 550, (Acts 243 and 244, respectively) is a decisive response to the growing concerns following the tragic Āliamanu fireworks incident that occurred on New Year’s Eve and the increased environmental worries following the Maui wildfires.

“These bills address some of the most urgent challenges we’re facing right now in our state,” said Elefante. “We’ve made real progress by passing key legislation on public health, safety in correctional facilities, funding for law enforcement, cracking down on illegal fireworks, improving fire prevention, and supporting our Department of Defense.”
