Senate Bill 2570 provides incentives to further hydrogen vehicles on the road. This is especially important for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and semis and other emerging innovative transportation technologies. — PolitiTweet.org

House Bill 2089 changes the way we calculate our progress on switching to renewable energy. Up until now, it was based on sales, but with HB 2089, we will focus on actual generation so that 100% means 100%. — PolitiTweet.org

House Bill 1801 moves state government forward to lead by example on reducing energy costs by being more efficient. At a time when oil prices are going up, taking action to reduce electricity use in government saves everyone more money. — PolitiTweet.org

House Bill 1800 is a major step forward for Hawaiʻi in becoming a clean energy economy. By setting an interim target for 2030 to be at least 50% below 2005 emissions, Hawaiʻi continues to set targets based on the science and in alignment with the US and global commitments to act. — PolitiTweet.org

For Hawaiʻi, it is critical that we transition to a clean energy economy as quickly as practicable, and the four bills I signed today will help ensure that Hawaiʻi continues to move forward as a national and global leader on sustainability. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I signed four bills that will advance Hawaiʻi’s clean energy economy. Last week’s US Supreme Court decision limiting the federal government’s ability to fight climate change underscores why it is so important for states to act and lead by example. https://t.co/h21P7XijW0 — PolitiTweet.org

Flags are ordered to fly at half staff until tomorrow as a mark of respect for the late Richard "Dickie" Sung Hong Wong, who served in the State House of Representatives for eight years before being elected to the Senate in 1974. Wong passed away on May 20. He was 88 years old. https://t.co/g8PRxBPDjZ — PolitiTweet.org

We will continue our work with other governors and local leaders to enact priority policies and take high-impact actions to help lead the world to a better place. — PolitiTweet.org

Hawaiʻi has long led the nation in response to the existential threat of climate change, and we will continue to do so. The SCOTUS ruling is another reminder that government action at all levels is needed, and Hawaiʻi has shown that it is possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Hawai’i law already protects the rights of individuals to make their own deeply personal reproductive health decisions, including the right to seek abortion care. I will do everything in my power to ensure that women retain control over their own reproductive choices. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

Today’s extreme US Supreme Court ruling is outrageous and a huge step backward for women’s rights. Despite the ruling, I can assure you that women in Hawai’i will continue to have access to the healthcare that they need, and that includes abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

Help is on the way for Hawaiʻi families. I just signed two bills to raise the minimum wage to $18 and provide taxpayers a refund ranging from $300 to $100, depending on income. This is just one step we’re taking to continue supporting our local workers and their ʻohana. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I signed a bill into law that will make period products free in Hawai'i's public schools. It's simple. No child should be forced to miss class because they can't afford period products and need to stay home. Thanks to all who helped make this bill a reality for our kids. — PolitiTweet.org
