Bill > HB2388

This bill establishes an "Electronic Posting Pilot Project" for counties in Hawaii with a population between 100,000 and 175,000, to be managed by each participating county's clerk. The project allows county agencies to fulfill their requirement to provide public notice, which historically meant publishing in newspapers, by instead posting these notices on official county websites or electronic calendars, though traditional publication remains an option. This change aims to modernize how government information is shared and make it more accessible. The bill also mandates that county agencies keep physical copies of all public notices for public inspection during business hours, and requires the county clerks to report their findings and any legislative recommendations to the state Legislature within one year of the bill's effective date of January 1, 2525.
