Small Business Regulatory Review Board

The Small Business Regulatory Review Board reviews proposed and existing state rules and regulations to assess their impact on small businesses operating in Hawaii. The board can recommend that agencies modify, delay, or repeal rules that impose undue burdens on small businesses without commensurate public benefit, and it advises 州议会 on regulatory reform. It provides a formal check on the regulatory process to ensure small business impacts are considered before new rules take effect.

Small businesses are the backbone of Hawaii's economy, and this board gives them a formal channel to push back on regulations that make it harder to operate. Small business owners can bring specific regulatory concerns to the board and request reviews of rules that are causing problems.
