State lawmakers passed over 200 bills on Wednesday. That’s a lot to keep track of, so with the legislative session ending on Friday, HPR is narrowing it down to the important bills we’ve been tracking.

An empty homes tax could net the City and County of Honolulu nearly $300 million in revenue over the first decade.

Mohammed Bhamani led the study and presented its findings to the council Tuesday.
