RELATING TO THE HAWAII LABOR RELATIONS BOARD.
HB 165 authorizes Hawaii's Labor Relations Board to enforce its own orders directly, without requiring court intervention. This directly affects employers and unions in labor disputes subject to the board's rulings. The key provision eliminates the need for external enforcement, allowing the board to implement its decisions more efficiently. The bill is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 3000.
