Reported from LMG (Stand. Com. Rep. No. 1494-26) as amended in HD 1, recommending passage on Second Reading and referral to JHA.
Summary
The bill revises Hawaii Revised Statutes §84‑13.2 to prohibit state employees from hiring, supervising, or awarding contracts to relatives or household members, and adds disclosure and penalty provisions. Although it defines “employee” to include legislators, judges and their staff, a later clause exempts any employee or agency of the legislative or judicial branch from the new rules. The measure aims to increase transparency and fairness across state government, but the exemption limits its reach.
