Last session we proved what a small, principled team can do. With just three core contributors, LPHI tracked 93 bills, testified on 72, and delivered a remarkable 77.42% success rate in shaping outcomes.
2026 Legislative Activism Report
Check out our 2026 Legislative Activism Report. This is our organized list of over 200 measures we’re tracking and testifying on this year. This report is updated regualrly. Bookmark it and check back often. The titles will take you to our blog posts covering the topic, and the bill numbers will take you directly to the Hawaii state page for the measure.
Our Top Priorities
This historic bill prohibits the Hawaii National Guard from being deployed to assist federal troops, federal law enforcement, or out-of-state Guard when the Governor objects. It’s our flagship defense of state sovereignty, local disaster response, and resistance to unwanted federal overreach. LPHI helped get it the proposal on the floor, and are heading the fight to get it approved.
HB540 – Ban fluoride in public water (SUPPORT): stopping forced medication.
SB1437 & HB1118 – Vaccine exemption attack (OPPOSE): protecting parental/religious rights.
HB264 – Parental rights in custody cases (SUPPORT): block legalized kidnapping schemes.
We are also laser-focused on blocking sweeping fireworks prohibitions, new gun restrictions, climate mandates, rental price controls, and occupational licensing expansions.
2026 Trajectories
The threats are persistent, but so is our momentum. Several 2025 bad bills returned in 2026. The kidnapping measure is deferred yet again, making it a defeated measure for the past three years in a row. The vaccine-exemption bills are back as SB1437 & HB1118. We have already started seeing early deferrals as partial wins. You can see the deferred bills in the new dedicated section of our report. 29 of the measures we opposed (government expansion, new restrictions, taxes, and licensing schemes) versus 3 we supported.
The fight never ends. Special interests keep reintroducing overreach, but our consistent activism works. We’ve seen a substantial increase in volunteers willing to contact their representatives, testify, post flyers and social media content, and more! By replicating and scaling last year’s playbook, we are positioned for even greater impact.
What We’re Expecting Ahead
The 2026 session is in full swing. With many bills already moving through committees and more hearings scheduled weekly, we expect:
A breakthrough win for sovereignty (Defend Hawaii), medical freedom, and direct democracy reforms.
Intense battles on cultural rights, self-defense, and parental authority.
Continued pressure on taxes, housing regulations, and mandates that hurt working families.
We have successfully replicated our activism model while growing our team of testifiers and donors. We can now turn more deferrals into permanent defeats and more SUPPORT bills into law. Early signs are encouraging, and our community is more engaged than ever.
