Good news! This is quoted text from Coral Magazines enewsletter and written by Ret Talbot. There is a lot more but this sums it up.

" Thirteen of the 14 aquarium-related bills introduced to the 2012 Hawaii State Legislature—including all of the so-called ban bills that would have made aquarium livestock collection illegal—have stalled in their respective house and senate committees, making their forward movement very unlikely."

Here is what he had to say about the remaining bill.

"Senate Bill 1387 (SB1387), which would require the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to develop a so-called "White List" of aquatic species that may be collected or sold for aquarium purposes, was referred to a single committee and is therefore not required to meet the Friday deadline. SB1387 is one of the bills carried over from last year, as Hawaii’s Legislature has a two-year term always beginning in an odd-numbered year and ending in an even-numbered year."
