URGING THE ʻAHA MOKU ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO FOLLOW ITS ADOPTED RULES OF PRACTICE, FULFILL ITS STATUTORY DUTIES, ESTABLISH POLICIES TO ASSURE CONSISTENT STANDARDS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTABILITY; AND CONVENING A WORKING GROUP TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

This House Concurrent Resolution urges the ʻAha Moku Advisory Committee to follow its adopted Rules of Practice, comply with the Sunshine Law, conduct a performance review of its Executive Director, and establish policies for administrative accountability. The bill directly affects the ʻAha Moku Advisory Committee, which is a state-funded advisory body responsible for advising on Native Hawaiian traditional resource management practices. Key provisions call for the committee to hold properly noticed public meetings, maintain transparent administrative records, and implement consistent governance standards to ensure public oversight. This resolution does not create new laws but instead requests the committee to fulfill its existing statutory duties and address concerns about transparency and accountability.
