URGING THE HAWAII STATE LEGISLATURE TO ESTABLISH A STATE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY.
This House Resolution urges the Hawaii State Legislature to establish a State Department of Government Efficiency, which would investigate wasteful spending. It cites voter support for examining government expenditures (77% in a poll) and reducing spending over tax increases (83%), along with projected $5.6 billion in lost revenue from tax cuts by 2031. The resolution highlights past inefficiencies in state spending as justification for creating the department. It is a non-binding request, not a law, intended to prompt legislative action.
