Governance & Ethics

Hawaii's government structure includes a bicameral state legislature, four county governments, and a web of boards and commissions that make binding decisions on everything from land use to liquor licenses. The Office of Information Practices enforces the Uniform Information Practices Act, guaranteeing public access to government records. The State Ethics Commission investigates conflicts of interest. The Sunshine Law requires most multi-member government bodies to hold open meetings — meaning residents have a legal right to attend, observe, and testify at the meetings that shape their communities.
