HRS §279D-9

Rules for policy board meetings and quorum

This section says that policy boards, advisory committees, and subcommittees must follow the open meeting rules in chapter 92. Members of other boards can join these meetings without breaking the rules. A small group of policy board members can talk about business outside a formal meeting, but a majority is needed to make decisions.

The statute, as written — Meetings

(a) Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, meetings of policy boards, advisory committees, or subcommittees shall be subject to part I of chapter 92. (b) Participation by members of any other board in a meeting of a policy board shall be a permitted interaction as provided in section 92-2.5(i). (c) Less than a quorum of policy board members may discuss metropolitan planning organization business, without limitation, outside of a duly noticed meeting of the policy board. (d) A majority of the membership of a policy board or committee of a policy board shall constitute a quorum to do business.
