Gov. David Ige announced Tuesday that he is vetoing all but two of the 30 bills on his intent-to-veto list released last month.
Of the 30 bills Ige said he would veto, 26 will be vetoed in full, while Ige will veto certain line items within another two.
However, Ige has changed his mind about two bills on the list, and has instead signed them into law.
Those two include Senate Bill 3179, which amends the Department of Land and Natural Resources’ rules regarding deer hunting, and SB 3272, which requires the Department of Transportation to require aerial tour operators to submit monthly flight reports and establishes an aircraft noise task force.
All other vetoes were consistent with the intent-to-veto list revealed in late June.
Ige also announced that he would not sign six bills, but will still allow them to become law without his signature. Those include:
• SB 2990, which requires the Department of Agriculture to establish a pilot program to reimburse certain farming expenses;
• SB 2218, which requires the DOA to establish a five-year food hub pilot program to increase local food access;
• House Bill 2020, which appropriates about $1 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds for the development of affordable housing projects;
• HB 1872, which requires the DLNR to recognize the value of game animals as a food source;
• HB 2288, which authorizes the transfer of a specific parcel of land on Oahu to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands;
• and HB 1932, which requires the Department of Human Services to develop a modern case management software system.
