Office of Information Practices

Governor David Ige issued his 10^th supplementary proclamation (SP 10) relating to the COVID-19 emergency on July 17, 2020.  SP 10 extends the partial suspension of Hawaii’s Sunshine Law and Uniform Information Practices Act until August 31, 2020, unless terminated or extended by a separate proclamation, whichever occurs first.  This partial suspension is found in Exhibit G of SP 10 and is identical to Exhibit H of the three prior supplementary proclamations.  Consequently, agencies now have until August 31, 2020 to meet any deadlines imposed by the UIPA or OIP, but are encouraged to meet their responsibilities earlier, if possible.
