SB 2718 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

RELATED TO ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES.

This bill would allow the Hawaiʻi Labor Relations Board to accept and consider hearsay evidence during its proceedings. Hearsay refers to statements made by people who are not present in court, which are currently often excluded in legal settings. The change would directly affect labor disputes by giving the Board more flexibility in reviewing testimony and documents. This procedural update aims to streamline the evidence-gathering process for cases involving workers and employers.
