A Hawaiian flag display bill passed the Senate 25–0 and died in one House committee
2026-09-10 · Hawaii · Legislation · Did not pass
A measure requiring Hawaii associations to allow display of the Hawaiian flag cleared the Senate unanimously and its first House committee 6–0, then stopped.1
SB 2795 (2026) would have required cooperative housing corporations, planned community associations and condominium associations to allow owners to display the Hawaiian flag within the owner’s property, subject to reasonable time, place and manner restrictions to protect a substantial interest of the association.
The record
Senate third reading as a second Senate draft: 25–0 on March 10, 2026. Referred in the House to three committees on March 12. House Culture and the Arts passed it 6–0 on March 18.
Last action: “3/20/26: Passed Second Reading as amended in HD 1 and referred to the committee(s) on CPC.”
House Consumer Protection & Commerce never heard it. It missed the March 30 second-lateral and April 10 second-decking deadlines.
Its House companion, HB 2532, followed the identical path a month earlier — passed House Culture and the Arts 6–0, referred to Consumer Protection & Commerce on February 6, never heard, dead at first crossover.
