Gov. Josh Green used his third State of the State address to recap accomplishments during the first two years of his administration and lay out future plans, but offered no specifics to a joint session of the House and Senate today on key questions over future fireworks legislation — and how much more tourists should pay to help the state respond to climate change.

During a post-speech press conference, Green told later reporters that he did not want to go into too many specifics in his address in order to keep “the over-arching focus on housing and affordability.”

But he did offer reporters specifics on what kind of legislation he would like to see to control outlaw fireworks following the New Year’s explosion that killed four people and injured dozens more — and how much to charge a new “visitor impact fee” to help fund Hawaii’s $200 million annual need to address climate change.

He continues to push his plan to dedicate all of the $66 million in interest on the state’s $1.5 billion rainy day fund to address climate change, which he said would likely require a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate.

The rest of Hawaii’s climate change needs would get funded by a 1% increase in the state hotel tax, along with Senate President Ron Kouchi’s idea to also have tourists pay new fees at specific state locations, Green said..

When it comes to fireworks, Green wants law enforcement to issue citations up to $300 that he said would represent “a very direct and simple way” to collect money without requiring a “preponderance of evidence like jaywalking or speeding.”

Green also hopes to make it a felony for anyone who causes injury or death due to illegal pyrotechnics.

Anyone who hosts an event that includes illegal fireworks “and it goes wrong, you’re going to jail for sure,” Green said.

In addition, there should be more professional, public pyrotechnics displays, he said.

“The problem is there are 1,000s and 1,000s of individuals that are shooting off these fireworks,” Green said.
