HB 1158 Hawaii House · 2024 Regular Session

RELATING TO GOVERNMENT RECORDS.

Summary
Specifies that certain deliberative and pre-decisional government inter-agency or intra-agency records concerning an agency decision about a government action are not subject to disclosure until a decision on the action has been made or abandoned. Creates a rebuttable presumption that a matter has been abandoned three years after a prior request for such records. Allows an agency post-decision to continue to withhold directly identifying information for officials or employees lacking discretionary authority in specified circumstances. From 7/1/2023 through 6/30/2027, requires agencies to report their use of the exception to the office of information practices. Requires the office of information practices to convene a working group to examine agency use of the exception and report to the legislature by the 2029 regular session.
