Act 51- Committee on Weights

The Act 51 Committee on Weights was established to review and make recommendations on Hawaii's weights and measures regulatory framework, including commercial weighing device standards and enforcement. It evaluates whether state statutes and administrative rules adequately protect consumers and businesses in commercial transactions. The committee's work feeds into updates to Hawaii's weights and measures laws.

Accurate weights and measures affect what you pay at the gas pump, the grocery store, and in commercial transactions statewide. Residents can engage through public comment periods when administrative rules are amended as a result of committee recommendations.
