HRS §92-4
Executive meetings
A government board can close a meeting to the public only if two-thirds of the members present vote for it at an open meeting, and that vote must be at least a majority of all board seats. The closed meeting can only cover topics the law allows. Afterward, the board must tell the public what was discussed or decided, but can keep some details secret if sharing them would defeat the meeting's purpose.

The statute, as written — Executive meetings
(a) A board may hold an executive meeting that is closed to the public upon an affirmative vote, taken at an open meeting, of two-thirds of the members present; provided the affirmative vote constitutes a majority of the members to which the board is entitled. A meeting closed to the public shall be limited to matters exempted by section 92-5. The reason for holding such a meeting shall be publicly announced and the vote of each member on the question of holding a meeting that is closed to the public shall be recorded and entered into the minutes of the meeting. (b) Any discussion or final action taken by a board in an executive meeting shall be reported to the public when the board reconvenes in the open meeting at which the executive meeting is held; provided that in describing the discussion or final action taken by the board: (1) The information reported shall not be inconsistent with the purpose for which the executive meeting was convened pursuant to section 92-5, including matters affecting the privacy of individuals; and (2) The board may maintain confidentiality for the information described in paragraph (1) for as long as disclosure would defeat the purpose of convening the executive meeting.
