Hawaii SB733 proposes amendments to the state constitution to establish a continuous legislative session.

Hawaii SB733 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 language regarding special sessions, adjournment, and recesses, and creates a two-year deadline for a bill to be submitted for gubernatorial consideration. It standardizes the number of days the governor must approve or veto a bill, requires the passage of the legislative budget not later than forty-five days before the end of each fiscal year, and prohibits members of the legislature from holding any.
