Hawaii Bill Would Convert Most State Payments to EFT

A bill introduced in the Hawaii Senate (S.B. 1331) would require the state to issue all recurring payments to consumers  by direct deposit or by the states electronic benefits transfer debit card.

Payments that would be covered under the new law include all public assistance payments, workers' compensation payments, state refunds, retirement payments and child support enforcement payment made through a court or other administrative tribunal.

If the bill becomes law the effective date would be July 1, 2015.
