Informing the Legislature that on July 9, 2024, the Governor signed the following bill into law: HB2352 HD1 SD2 (ACT 247).

This bill informs the Hawaii Legislature that Governor Josh Green signed Act 247 into law on July 9, 2024. The act amends the law enforcement standards board by exempting its administrator from civil service rules, updating membership requirements to improve representation, and setting new deadlines for the board to complete its duties. Additionally, it requires the board to conduct studies on how its training and certification standards affect existing employment obligations for law enforcement officers. These changes aim to ensure the board has the necessary time and resources to effectively regulate law enforcement certification while considering collective bargaining agreements.
