Bill > SB1337

This bill amends the existing law regarding the Stadium Authority, a body within the Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism responsible for managing the stadium development district. The bill clarifies the composition and appointment process for the eleven-member authority, which includes eight public members appointed by the governor and three ex officio members. Specifically, it defines precise geographic boundaries for two community representatives from the Aiea and West Honolulu areas, requires members to be U.S. citizens and Hawaii residents for at least five years before appointment, and limits members to no more than two consecutive terms. The most significant addition is a new provision establishing quorum and voting requirements, stating that a majority of currently serving voting members must be present to conduct business, and that any action requires the concurrence of a majority of all current voting members. The bill aims to provide more clarity and structure to the Stadium Authority's governance, ensuring that its actions are validated by a substantial representation of its voting members. The changes will take effect immediately upon approval.
