Conference committee advances bill to create a consolidated program‑level outcomes dashboard at UH

Joint Conference Committee on Higher Education (Senate and House) · April 24, 2026

Summary

HB2158 would require the University of Hawaii to publish consolidated, user‑friendly program‑level outcome data for students; conferees plan a CD1 to refine scope and effective date and rolled the bill to Tuesday for continued work.

Conferees discussed House Bill 2158, which would require the University of Hawaii to publish program‑level outcome data to help prospective and current students understand likely outcomes for particular majors. Committee members said the university already issues various data but that HB2158 seeks to consolidate and present it in a more accessible, one‑stop format.

The house conferee noted prior related work (last year's HB 1320) and said this draft does not request additional FTEs, as staff believe existing unit resources could handle the task. The Senate agreed to take the lead in producing a CD1 that incorporates university suggestions on scope; the bill was rolled to the next Tuesday 3:00 PM session for further refinement and finance checks.
