Interdepartmental Council

The Interdepartmental Council coordinates policy and operational issues that cross multiple state executive departments, facilitating communication and resolving conflicts that arise at departmental boundaries. It may develop joint guidelines or shared procedures for issues no single department owns. Its work reduces duplication and promotes cohesion across Hawaii's executive branch.

Cross-agency coordination directly affects the quality and consistency of state services you receive; this council helps ensure departments work together rather than at cross-purposes.
