Bill > HCR179

This concurrent resolution urges the ?Aha Moku Advisory Committee, a state body established to advise on Native Hawaiian traditional and customary resource management practices, to adhere to its adopted Rules of Practice and Procedure, which were reportedly established in October 2016. It also calls on the committee to fulfill all its legal obligations, including complying with the Sunshine Law, which mandates that public bodies conduct their business in open, publicly noticed meetings. Furthermore, the resolution urges the committee to conduct a performance review of its Executive Director and to establish clear administrative and managerial policies to ensure consistent accountability and effective governance, particularly in light of concerns about transparency, representation, and compliance with public meeting requirements.
