Hawaii SB418 establishes a regulatory review program to evaluate and modernize administrative rules.

Hawaii SB418 creates a regulatory review program overseen by the Department of the Attorney General. The program aims to identify and repeal outdated, unnecessary, or unsupported rules, streamline regulations, and improve clarity. Each state agency must review at least 20% of its rules annually, with all rules reviewed every five years. Agencies must seek public input and submit annual reports to the Attorney General. The Attorney General compiles an annual report for the governor and legislature. Rules not specifically extended by the legislature will be repealed after five years.
