Bill > HR200

This resolution re-establishes the Commission to Improve Standards of Conduct, also known as the Foley Commission, to examine the structural and cultural conditions within the Hawaii State Legislature that may have contributed to a bribery scandal involving a former representative. The commission will review rules that concentrate power over legislation in the hands of a few leaders, assess transparency and accountability to constituents, and evaluate reform models from other jurisdictions. The Speaker of the House will appoint members with expertise in ethics and diverse perspectives, and the commission is expected to conduct its work publicly and submit a report with recommendations to the Legislature by a specified date.
