Extends nepotism prohibitions to legislative employees in Hawaii.

The bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to extend the prohibition on nepotism to employees of the legislative branch. Currently, state employees are barred from hiring or supervising relatives or awarding contracts to businesses owned by relatives or household members. This bill removes an exemption for legislative employees, aligning their ethical standards with those of other state employees. The changes take effect upon approval of the Act.
