Hawaii State Committee on Blind Vendors

The Hawaii State Committee on Blind Vendors represents the interests of legally blind vendors who operate vending facilities on state and federal properties under the Randolph-Sheppard Act, a federal law that gives priority to blind vendors for vending opportunities in public buildings. The committee participates in the administration of the state's Randolph-Sheppard program, including location assignments and resolving vendor grievances. It operates under the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.

Blind and visually impaired individuals who work as vendors under the Randolph-Sheppard program in Hawaii are directly represented by this committee, which advocates for their priority rights and program conditions. Agencies managing state or federal buildings with vending opportunities are also affected by the committee's work.
