Bill > HR122

This resolution requests the Legislative Reference Bureau (LRB), a government agency responsible for providing research and legal analysis to the Hawaii Legislature, to conduct a comprehensive review of all mandatory reports submitted to the Legislature. The resolution acknowledges that some existing reporting requirements may be outdated or unnecessary, such as reports about programs that no longer exist or reports that do not provide significant new information. Specifically, the LRB is asked to examine the reports, determine which ones can be discontinued, and submit a detailed report of its findings and recommendations, including potential legislative changes, to the Legislature at least twenty days before the 2026 Regular Session. The resolution highlights the importance of these reports in helping legislators understand the initiatives of executive agencies and the Judiciary, while also recognizing the need to streamline and eliminate redundant reporting requirements. Upon completion of its review, the LRB is to receive a certified copy of this resolution.
