HI HB1192

Requires the public access room (an office under the legislative reference bureau) to establish and maintain an outreach and engagement program for primary, secondary, post-secondary, and community education.

Mandates the Department of Education and University of Hawaii assign appropriate staff to coordinate with the public access room regarding the outreach and engagement program.

Appropriates funds to establish one full-time equivalent (1.0 FTE) position within the public access room for fiscal years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 (specific dollar amount left blank in bill).

Expands the public access room's role beyond its current functions of providing public access to research equipment and legislative information to include active civic engagement initiatives.

Takes effect on June 30, 3000 (appears to be a scrivener's error in the effective date).
