SB 1425 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO THE STATE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

SB 1425 changes the minimum number of members required to be present (quorum) for the State Emergency Medical Services Advisory Committee to conduct official business. This bill directly affects the committee members, as it alters the rules governing when their meetings can legally proceed. The key provision reduces the quorum requirement, making it easier for the committee to hold meetings and make decisions without needing as many members present. This is a procedural change with no direct impact on public policy or services.
