Office of Information Practices

The State Office of Information Practices has developed a new Notice of Continuance form as well as a Quick Review explaining how meetings may be continued in accordance with the Hawaii Supreme Court’s decision in Kanahele v. Maui County Council.   The Notice of Continuance of Meeting form and Quick Review:  Continuance of a Meeting Under the Sunshine Law are available on OIP’s forms and training pages at oip.hawaii.gov. 

As a reminder, OIP, in conjunction with the Hawaii State Bar Association, will be offering a free continuing legal education (CLE) course (with one MCPE credit) on January 23, 2014 to help attorneys keep abreast of the most significant developments concerning the UIPA and Sunshine Law that occurred in 2013.  The one-hour power point presentation with voiceover may be accessed on OIP’s website at anytime between 8 a.m. January 23 until 8 a.m. the next morning.  Register here for the online course.  If you require an auxiliary aid or accommodation due to a disability, please contact (808) 586-1400 or email [email protected] by January 21, 2014.
