Hawaii SB1167 mandates the Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund to pursue subrogation claims against parties responsible for climate change damages.

Hawaii SB1167 amends the Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund's plan of operation to include procedures for filing and litigating subrogation claims against parties responsible for climate change damages. The bill requires the fund to exercise its subrogation rights to recover from responsible parties that have caused damages due to climate disasters, extreme weather attributable to climate change, and harms resulting from long-term changes to the climate system. The fund's insurance rates must account for proceeds paid to the fund from subrogation claims.
