REQUESTING EACH STATE AGENCY TO PROVIDE THE AFFECTED PERSON WITH WRITTEN NOTICE OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BEFORE TAKING ANY FINAL ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION THAT MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTS A PROTECTED LIBERTY OR PROPERTY INTEREST.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution requests that all Hawaii state agencies provide written notice to individuals before taking final administrative actions that negatively affect their legal rights or property. The notice must explain the proposed action, the reasons behind it, the laws or policies being applied, and inform the person of their right to request a hearing or appeal. Additionally, the resolution encourages agencies to wait until appeals are resolved before implementing adverse actions, unless urgent public safety concerns exist, and to keep investigative and decision-making roles separate to ensure fairness. It also urges agencies to cover financial costs from procedural violations using their own budgets rather than the state's general fund, though this request is not legally binding. The measure aims to improve transparency and accountability in administrative decision-making across state departments.
