About one in 14 bills introduced in Hawaii’s legislative session this year became law.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie enacted 235 laws, compared to 3,224 bills introduced at the beginning of the year, meaning 7.3 percent of introduced bills survived the legislative process and became law.

It’s typical for fewer than one-tenth of bills introduced to become law.

Abercrombie this week also vetoed 17 bills of the 252 that cleared both the state House and Senate.

More bills are introduced in odd-numbered years, the first of the state’s two-year budget cycle. The number of bills drops off in even-numbered years, after the budget is in place.
