STORY SUMMARY

HILO, Hawaii - Councilmembers agreed on Tuesday that state lawmakers should be subject to the same open meeting requirements and sanctions that they are subject to at the county level.

NOTE: In depth video coverage will be published on this page Tuesday evening.

(BIVN) – The Hawaii County Council wants state lawmakers to be more transparent.

The Council’s Governmental Relations and Economic Development Committee advanced a resolution requesting the state legislature make itself subject to the Sunshine Law.

Unlike the County Council, state legislators are exempt from the open meeting requirements and sanctions.
