Hawaii HB50 exempts certain boards and commissions from administrative supervision by department heads.

Hawaii HB50 amends various sections of Hawaii Revised Statutes to exempt specific boards and commissions from administrative supervision by department heads. These entities, including the Office of Elections, the Elections Commission, and the Hawaii Tourism Authority, are granted autonomy in making direct communications with the governor and legislature, managing employment decisions, and purchasing supplies without departmental approval. Exceptions to this autonomy include certain administrative functions and quasi-judicial activities, which remain under the purview of the department heads.
