Hawaii Legislature Passes New TPA Law -

Hawaii is expected to adopt legislation in the coming weeks that will impose licensing and other regulatory requirements on third party administrators (TPAs). Currently, Hawaii is one of only a handful of states that do not license or regulate TPAs. Hawaii legislators passed Senate Bill 1212 out of a conference committee on April 30, 2019 and it was sent to Hawaii Governor David Ige for his signature on May 6, 2019. It is anticipated that Senate Bill 1212 will become law before the end of June.
