HB770 proposes amendments to the Hawaii State Constitution to establish a continuous legislative session. The bill mandates that the legislature convene at least once each month, removes constitutional language regarding special sessions, adjournment, and recesses, and creates a two-year deadline for a bill to be submitted for gubernatorial consideration. It also standardizes the number of days the governor must approve or veto a bill and requires the passage of the legislative budget not later than forty-five days before the end of each fiscal year.
