Bill > SB1343

This bill modifies the quorum and voting requirements for the Small Business Regulatory Review Board (SBRRB), a state board that reviews regulations affecting small businesses in Hawaii. Specifically, the bill changes the language regarding quorum from "all members to which the board is entitled" to "all members appointed or confirmed to serve on the board," with the additional requirement that there must be at least five members present to conduct business. This means that even if the board is not fully staffed, it can still function and make valid decisions as long as a majority of its appointed members (minimum of five) are present. The change provides more flexibility in board operations by ensuring that the board is not paralyzed if some positions are vacant, while still maintaining a substantial representation to make meaningful decisions. The bill will take effect immediately upon approval by the appropriate authorities.
