Hawaii HB2249 mandates zero-emission vehicles for state fleet and exempts specific positions from civil service.

Hawaii HB2249 requires all new light-duty motor vehicles in the state fleet to be zero-emission vehicles by January 1, 2030. The comptroller can exempt new fleet vehicle purchases if zero-emission vehicles are cost-prohibitive or unsuitable for their planned purpose, or if funds are unavailable. The bill also exempts specific positions from civil service, including those in the Hawaii National Guard, positions filled by the legislature, and various administrative and specialized roles across different state departments.
