HI HB724

Expands Hawaii's Sunshine Law to include the legislature and all its committees and decision-making bodies within the definition of "board," removing the current exemption that allowed the legislature to set its own open meeting rules

Establishes new "notice period" requirements based on session duration: for the legislature's 60-day regular session, at least 2 calendar days' notice before meetings; for other boards, at least 6 calendar days' notice

Repeals Section 92-2.5, which previously allowed "permitted interactions" between board members, including private discussions between two members, private officer selection discussions, and informal attendance at informational meetings

Assigns enforcement of Sunshine Law compliance for the legislature to the Senate President and House Speaker, rather than the Attorney General or prosecuting attorney

Redefines "meeting" to include any "interactions between board members" that involve deliberation toward a decision, not just formal convenings requiring a quorum
