Bill > HR169

This 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 diligently fulfill all its legal obligations, including strict compliance with the Sunshine Law, which mandates that governmental bodies conduct their business in open, publicly noticed meetings to ensure transparency. Furthermore, the resolution strongly recommends that the committee conduct a formal performance review of its Executive Director and implement consistent administrative and managerial policies to guarantee accountability and effective governance, especially given concerns raised about the committee's transparency, representation, and adherence to legal requirements.
