The Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environment met Feb. 3, 2026 to consider SB 2178, an industrial hemp bill; the committee recommended passing the bill with amendments that remove state licensing to avoid duplication with USDA and defer the effective date. The Senate Committee on Hawaiian Affairs convened afterward, postponed decision on SB 2702 and advanced several other measures including SB 2314 (Hawaiian-language provisions) with amendments.
