Bill > HB792

This bill clarifies and updates the provisions regarding the Office of the Legislative Analyst in Hawaii's statutes. Specifically, the bill modifies the language around the appointment and tenure of the legislative analyst, changing the term "period" to "term" for the four-year appointment. The bill also adjusts the removal process, explicitly stating that the committee can remove the legislative analyst by a three-fourths vote of its members, but only for cause. Additionally, the bill changes the language about employee benefits, replacing the phrase "shall be entitled to" with "may" when referring to the legislative analyst and other employees' participation in state employee benefit programs. These modifications provide more precise language about the legislative analyst's role, appointment, and potential removal, while also giving slightly more discretion regarding employee benefit participation. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2491, which appears to be a futuristic date, potentially indicating a placeholder or placeholder for a future implementation date.
