AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

State Legal Battle: The U.S. DOJ sued Hawaiʻi over state laws granting in-state tuition and aid to undocumented immigrants, arguing the benefits discriminate against U.S. citizens and conflict with federal law. Energy & Cost Pressure: The Hawaiʻi Public Utilities Commission is set to hold statewide hearings starting Sept. 22 on Hawaiian Electric’s proposed rate rebasing that could raise typical monthly bills by about $11–$15 depending on island. Local Housing Rules: Hawaii County again deferred a bill that would “clean up” vacation rental regulations, including clarifying short-term rental definitions, adjusting permit requirements, and setting management standards and enforcement funding. Disaster Recovery & Utilities: Kauai’s power restoration reached 95% after Hurricane Lowell, with remaining outages concentrated on the North Shore. Public Safety: A precautionary boil water notice for Wai’ōhinu–Nā‘ālehu on Hawaiʻi Island was canceled after additional testing. Cybersecurity: The FBI Honolulu warned about North Korean hackers using fake tech recruiting offers (“WaterPlum/Contagious Interview”) that have infected 30,000+ devices worldwide. Business & Tourism: Maui Hotel & Lodging Association announced its 2026–2027 board, while Pacific Fashion Week debuted at Kaimana Beach Hotel.
