Hawaii’s 2025 Legislative Session brought forward over 50 “condo related” bills. We have evaluated them to see how they impact owners and residents living in condos and shared communities. The following considerations in our Bill Evaluation posts were based off the meta-analysis of all bills listed below:

⚠️ SB146 Legislative Update – What Happens Next?
Aloha and thank you for visiting. The legislative process can be confusing, especially at this stage—so here’s a simplified breakdown of what’s coming up with SB146 and how you can help stop it:
🔄 What’s Next?
- The updated bill (SB146 SD1 HD2) and the official committee report from Judiciary & Hawaiian Affairs (JHA) are expected by Friday 4/4/2025, though they may not appear online until late Friday or Saturday.
🗳️ The House Vote (Third Reading)
- Once the bill is posted, all House Representatives can be contacted to urge a “NO” vote on the bill’s third reading.
- The third reading vote may happen as soon as Tuesday, so check the bill’s page for 48-hour notice.
🤝 If It Passes the House…
- Because the bill was amended outside its originating chamber, it must go to a conference committee made up of House and Senate members.
- This is your chance to contact both Representatives and Senators to stop the final version (SB146 CD1) from passing.
🖊️ If It Passes Conference…
- If the bill clears the conference committee and both chambers approve it, it goes to the Governor.
- You can then urge the Governor to veto the measure.
🔁 If All Else Fails…
- If the Governor signs it into law, we must prepare to repeal the harmful provisions during the next legislative session in 2026.

This bill tracker spreadsheet is the result of a collaborative effort by various condominium advocates and is not guaranteed to be a comprehensive catalog of every bill that may impact condo owners or residents. While we strive to provide valuable guidance, we strongly encourage everyone to do their own due diligence when forming their perspectives.
Our goal is to empower owners and residents to develop their own voices and articulate their genuine concerns, rather than relying on boilerplate testimonies often used by industry professionals. We believe in highlighting the true heart of each person’s concerns while emphasizing our shared goals of transparency, accountability, and fairness.
Thank you for using this tool to make your voice heard and support meaningful change for our communities.
