HI SB2937

Creates an exemption in section 92F-11, Hawaii Revised Statutes, allowing government agencies to decline responding to duplicate or subsequent requests for the same records from a single requester.

Addresses situations involving repeated requests for records or information already provided to a requester by establishing specific requirements agencies must satisfy before declining to respond.

Applies to the Uniform Information Practices Act, codified at chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes, which previously contained no provision allowing agencies to refuse duplicate record requests.

Includes a repeal date of July 1, 2014, making this a temporary measure subject to sunset unless extended.
