Hawaii SB635 mandates state agencies to use energy-efficient lighting and requires the Hawaii State Energy Office to assist and report on compliance.

SB635 requires all state agencies in Hawaii to transition to energy-efficient lighting, specifically replacing existing fluorescent fixtures and bulbs. The Hawaii State Energy Office is tasked with providing technical assistance, conducting a compliance survey by November 1, 2025, and submitting a report with recommendations to the legislature before the 2026 session. This bill aims to expedite the implementation of energy-efficient lighting in state buildings to align with climate-forward policies and Act 225, which prohibits the sale of certain compact fluorescent lamps.
