Ask for a public hearing of measures you support! After bills have been introduced, they need to be scheduled for hearings. Many bills never get a single public hearing, and “die in committee”. If you support a bill, you can ask the chair(s) of the committee(s) that the bills are in to schedule them for a hearing.

The Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts (SFCA) is in support of these bills as of February 3, 2025*:

*Please note that support/oppose/comment positions have not yet been determined by SFCA leadership on all measures introduced for this session. Updates will be provided by the SFCA and the Hawaiʻi Arts Alliance, a nonprofit arts advocacy group.
