What This Committee Does

The Government Relations, Ethics, and Transparency Committee reviews Honolulu City Council legislation related to intergovernmental relations, ethics code provisions, lobbying regulations, campaign finance rules, and government transparency requirements. It also considers charter amendment proposals and changes to how the Council interacts with state and federal agencies.

Why You Should Care

Ethics and transparency rules define how much residents can see of their government's inner workings. This committee is the right venue for concerns about lobbying disclosure, elected officials' conflicts of interest, or proposals to strengthen open government requirements for the City and County of Honolulu.
