HRS §93-16
How government reports must be shared with the legislature
When a government agency must send a report to the legislature, it must make the report available in print, give printed copies to certain legislative leaders and the library, and post it online where it is easy to find. If the agency combines several required reports into one, it must list each report and note any different time periods. This rule applies to state and local government bodies.
