On April 2, the Hawaii Senate Judiciary Committee passed HB 712, one of the presidential tax returns bills. It only applies to president and vice-president. By contrast, SB 94, the defeated bill, applied to some state offices as well.

Just a small correction: SB 94 was a one-year disclosure requirepemtn, but HB 712 is a five-year requirement (and also applies to the VP): https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=HB&billnumber=712&year=2019
Thank you. I corrected the post.
HB 712 applies to president, vice-president, governor, lieutenant governor, and county mayor. It requires 5 years of tax returns.
It is probably noteworthy that Hawaii does not permit write-in votes (Burdick v Takushi).
