REQUESTING THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII ECONOMIC RESEARCH ORGANIZATION TO CONDUCT A STUDY OF THE CEO-TO-WORKER PAY RATIO IN THE STATE.

SCR 133 is a concurrent resolution requesting the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO) to study the ratio of CEO pay to typical worker pay across companies operating in Hawaii. The study must examine this pay gap by industry, assess its economic impact on the state, and identify potential policy options to reduce the disparity. UHERO is required to submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Legislature by April 2026. This resolution does not create new laws but seeks data to inform future policy decisions about pay inequality.
