The new laws help fund the Hurricane Relief fund and help create a funding mechanism for the Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund.  State Finance Director Kalbert Young tells "Hawaii 24/7" that "Hawaii will be the only state in the country where government employees have a statutory required mandated funding course toward 100 percent pre-funding for post-employment benefit liabilities."  This could be game changer for the state’s unfunded liabilities.  Aloha, Russ.
