AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Crypto Crackdown: Hawaii lawmakers passed HB1642 CD1 to tighten rules on crypto ATMs—cash can’t be used to buy crypto, though people can still cash out what they already own—aimed at stopping scams that have cost residents about $240 million nationally in early 2025. Public Safety & Infrastructure: The Wahiawā Dam Rehabilitation Project kicked off with a blessing, as officials say March/April storms made the dam’s safety urgency impossible to ignore. Disaster Relief: OHA launched the March 2026 Kona Low General Disaster Assistance Program, offering up to $15,000 for homeowners and $7,500 for renters, with applications opening May 16. Health Care: UH’s men’s volleyball team won its third NCAA national championship, beating UC Irvine 3-1, and a new DOH update says PFAS were detected in Haleakalā’s park water system (not expected to pose significant risk). Justice Watch: In Guam’s $34M Hafa Adai bingo fraud case, resentencing starts this week for defendants—while Michael Marasigan remains a fugitive on the FBI’s most wanted list.
