HONOLULU (KHON2) — Governor Josh Green has released a list of bills he plans to veto.
On June 6, Green informed legislative leaders and stakeholders of 19 bills passed during the 2025 legislative session of the Hawaiʻi State Legislature that he plans to veto.
Green is not required to veto every bill indicated on the Intent-to-Veto list, but cannot veto a bill that is not included.
“Let me be clear: of the 320 bills passed by the Legislature this session, 19 are on our Intent-to-Veto list,” said Governor Green. “Our team has completed a review of every measure and the overwhelming majority of legislation will become law. Each bill on today’s list is based on thorough legal and fiscal analysis, and as always, was guided by what will best serve the people of Hawai‘i, protect our resources and strengthen our future.”
The list includes a measure that would allow the film tax credit to expire, as well as allowing the state to sell naming rights to facilities like the New Aloha Stadium.
