Bill > HB2108

This bill expands the requirement for financial disclosures to include individuals nominated for state positions that require confirmation by the Senate, ensuring these disclosures are made before confirmation hearings to allow for timely review of potential conflicts of interest. It also makes technical adjustments to existing financial disclosure rules for legislators, aligning them with information already provided in lobbyist expenditure statements. The bill amends Section 84-17 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes, specifying that nominees to positions subject to Senate confirmation, excluding state court justices and judges, must file their required financial statements no later than five days after being nominated or five days before their first confirmation hearing, whichever comes first. Additionally, it clarifies that these nominees, like other public officials, will have their financial disclosures made public.
