HB 2399 Hawaii House · 2024 Regular Session

RELATING TO THE HAWAII STATE PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM.

HB 2399 exempts a specific administrative assistant position within the Hawaiʻi State Public Library System from the standard civil service hiring process. This change allows the library to fill this particular role without adhering to the usual civil service rules that apply to other state employees. The bill directly affects the library's ability to recruit for this one specific job opening while leaving all other positions and library operations unchanged.
