The filing deadline for Second Crossover passed on April 10, 2025.  This was the last day for bills to pass third reading in the non-originating chamber and “crossover” back to the original chamber.  It was also the deadline for the originating chamber to disagree with any amendments made by the non-originating chamber.  If the Senate and House disagree on a bill, a conference committee may meet to resolve disagreements.  The next notable deadlines are April 24-25, 2025, when non-fiscal and fiscal bills must be submitted for final reading.

Please view our 2025 Employment Related Bills and Other Bills of Interest After Second Crossover to see a summary of these bills.

We hope that you will join us on May 13, 2025, either online or in-person, for a 2025 Legislative Wrap-Up presentation that will be cohosted by Tom Yamachika, President of the Tax Foundation of Hawaii, and Brooke Tongg, Associate General Counsel of the Hawaii Employers Council.  Both Tom and Brooke will be reviewing employment related bills, tax bills, and other bills of interest that were approved during the 2025 legislative session.

We will also continue to post updates to these bills throughout this session as it becomes available.
