AI Summary

  • Allows the policy advisory board for elder affairs to establish its own quorum requirements through bylaws rather than defaulting to the statutory standard of fifty percent of members plus one.

  • Specifies that quorum shall consist of a majority of currently serving members, but in no event fewer than eight members.

  • Requires the board to make its bylaws available to the public on the executive office on aging's website.

  • Addresses challenges in meeting quorum requirements due to the board having a majority of elder members and representatives from neighbor islands who face difficulty attending meetings.

  • Takes effect on July 1, 2019.
