SB375

Establishes a commission to examine and recommend changes to the allocation of responsibilities and funding between Hawaii's state and county.

The bill establishes a select commission on government restructuring to assess the current allocation of responsibilities and funding between the state and county governments, focusing on education, health, and public safety. The commission will explore models for sharing duties and funding, consider the potential for counties to assume greater responsibility, and develop recommendations for legislative or policy changes. The commission will submit interim reports in 2026 and 2027, and a final report in 2028.
