AI Summary
- Request the Legislative Reference Bureau to evaluate establishing separate medical and pension benefit plans for state justices and judges.
- Justices and judges are currently members of the Employees' Retirement System and Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund, which may create conflicts of interest when hearing cases involving these plans.
- All five Hawaii Supreme Court justices recused themselves from the Dannenberg v. State of Hawaii case (January 13, 2016) regarding retiree health benefits, apparently due to their membership in these benefit plans.
- The evaluation must determine if separate plans can be established and what types of plans would be feasible.
- Legislative Reference Bureau to submit findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the 2017 Regular Session convenes.
