Informing the Legislature that on June 3, 2025, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB1651 SD1 HD2 CD1 (ACT 169).
This bill (SB1651) changes Hawaii's public meeting notice rules for state boards and agencies. It requires boards to post meeting materials (called "board packets") at least **three full business days before meetings** - not just by the end of the second business day - to ensure the public has sufficient time to review them. It also mandates that boards notify people who signed up for meeting alerts when packets become available. The law directly affects all state boards, commissions, and agencies holding public meetings under Hawaii Revised Statutes.
