HRS §21-7
Rules for committee hearings and notice
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗An investigating committee can hold hearings when and where it chooses. It must give its members written notice at least three days before a hearing during the legislative session, or seven days before a hearing outside the session, and the notice must state the topic. A hearing is still valid even if the notice rules were not followed, but no hearing can happen without a quorum.

(a) An investigating committee may hold hearings appropriate for the performance of its duties, at such times and places as the committee determines. (b) The committee shall provide by its rules that each member of the committee be given at least three days written notice of any hearing to be held when the legislature is in session and at least seven days written notice of any hearing to be held when the legislature is not in session. The notices shall include a statement of the subject matter of the hearing. A hearing, and any action taken at a hearing, shall not be deemed invalid solely because notice of the hearing was not given in accordance with this requirement. (c) Any investigating committee shall not conduct a hearing unless a quorum is present.
