HB770

Hawaii HB770 proposes amendments to the state constitution to establish continuous legislative sessions.

Hawaii HB770 proposes amendments to the state constitution to establish continuous legislative sessions, requiring the legislature to convene at least once each month. The bill removes constitutional language regarding special sessions, adjournment, and recesses. It creates a two-year deadline for a bill to be submitted for gubernatorial consideration, 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.
