Informing the Legislature that on June 4, 2026, the Governor signed the following bill into law: SB3069 SD1 HD1 CD1 (ACT 081).

Summary

The law amends Hawaii’s civil service statute to exempt a long list of high‑level, specialized, or unique state jobs—from department deputies to teachers and court clerks—from standard civil‑service hiring rules. It lets agency heads fill these roles directly, often with the governor’s approval, and sets a three‑year limit on new exemptions unless the legislature renews them. The change aims to give the state more flexibility in staffing critical or specialized functions.
