We’ve spent years watching politicians decide they know better than you do about what goes into (or stays out of your own body). Mandates, prohibitions, job threats, school barriers; the playbook is familiar by now.  HB2512 and HB2199 are two measures that draw a hard line against this type of overreach. They simply insist that your body belongs to you. The Libertarian Party of Hawaii supports both measures without reservation. Here’s exactly what they do and why we’re pu

Oppose SB2480 the bill pairs this "open-voting" reform with a far more problematic top-two rule: Only the two candidates receiving the most votes in the primary, regardless of party, advance to the November general election. This creates an artificial bottleneck that overrides the benefits of expanded primary choice. It risks turning general elections into contests between two similar candidates from the dominant party.

Requiring law enforcement officers to show their faces while dealing with the public is not “anti-police.” It is pro-rule-of-law. It draws a bright line between legitimate authority and the tactics of authoritarian regimes. Officers who act for the people and under color of law must be willing to stand behind their actions in the light of day, and answer to the individuals they serve.

The Libertarian Party of Hawaii has one message for police departments fighting SB2145: If real accountability offends you, you are the problem. This bill is about ending the legal shield that lets government agents violate your First Amendment rights with zero consequences. It is exactly why Hawaii’s police departments are scared.  Here’s what SB2145 does: It explicitly codifies your existing First Amendment right to record law enforcement officers when they are performing t

SB1551 and HB611 plan to ban all non-recyclable bags, help us fight this bill!

The Libertarian Party of Hawaii strongly supports SB2054 (the Defend Hawaii Bill) and we are proud to have helped in these efforts. While this version is narrower than our original proposal, it remains a historic, pragmatic, and urgently needed victory for Hawaii’s liberty, autonomy, constitutional rights, and the original public meaning of the Second Amendment. SB2054 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes §121-30 by adding a clear, enforceable prohibition: 

The Libertarian Party of Hawaii is proud to announce that a resolution authored by Hawaii Chairman Austin Martin, has been formally adopted by the Libertarian National Committee (LNC). This is how we check power from the bottom up: the national party condemns the abuse, and the state affiliate withholds the resources that make the abuse possible.

The Libertarian Party of Hawaii proudly stands in strong support of SB2145. It stands out as one of the most important civil liberty bills of the 2026 legislative session. SB 2145 establishes a clear, explicit right of every person in Hawaii to record law enforcement activities in public. It also creates a powerful private right of action to hold officers accountable when they illegally interfere with this fundamental right.

I can’t believe that it needs to be said at all, but doctors, please don’t murder infants. Don’t neglect them. Don’t violate your oaths. SB213 requires that every infant born alive receives medically appropriate and reasonable life-saving and life-sustaining care. It establishes clear civil and criminal penalties for anyone who fails to provide that care. This isn't complicated or controversial; it's basic human decency.

HB264 obliterates that playbook. By banning any consideration of gender affirmation (or non-affirmation) in Hawaii custody decisions, it yanks the rug out from under the the state's efforts to legalize kidnapping.

SB277 & HB384 would strengthen safeguards for minors against sexual exploitation, and it would do so without inflating government bloat or infringing on consensual adult behaviors. We're throwing our support behind it, you should too. It defends the most vulnerable from aggression.

Senate Bill 433 is the Aloha State's latest swing at restricting your right to carry anything sharper than a butter knife or heavier than a pineapple. This gem prohibits open and concealed carry of dirks, daggers, blackjacks, metal knuckles, bladed weapons, batons, cudgels, truncheons, police batons, collapsible batons, billy clubs, or nightsticks. Nothing says "public safety" like turning a pocket knife into a felony enhancer.

SB2054, was introduced on January 21, 2026, opening day of the legislative session. Sponsored by eight Democratic senators, it amends Hawaii Revised Statutes §121-30 to prohibit Hawaii National Guard units (when under state control or Title 32 duty) from assisting, cooperating with, or providing resources to federal troops, federal law enforcement, or out-of-state National Guard forces deployed in Hawaii if the Governor objects to those deployments.

Hawaii's lawmakers are gambling our health in favor of state overreach. The opposed bills reek of corporate influence and outdated science, while HB540 offers evidence-based reasoning and thorough protections. Oppose SB488, SB2073, SB727, and SB682. Support HB540. Follow these simple instructions to make your voice heard.  Contact us today to get tailored advice, collaboration, and support.

By mandating written notices upon initial contact, HB312 reduces the risk of abuse in the system, prevents coercive tactics, and upholds the non-aggression principle. No one, especially not the state, should initiate force, fraud, or coercion against peaceful individuals and families. 

In the 2025 Hawaii legislative session, the Libertarian Party of Hawaii (LPHI) achieved an extraordinary 77.42% success rate, shaping the outcome of 72 out of the 93 bills we testified on. Let's dive into our key victories and unpack the strategies that made them possible. By replicating these strategies, you can join us in defending liberty in future sessions. Here’s how we did it and why it matters.

SB2687 sets a precedent for eroding First Amendment protections under the guise of public safety.

the Ending Judicial Immunity Act. This legislation draft aims to enhance accountability within our judicial system by holding judges responsible for their actions when they violate constitutional or statutory rights.
