As the state constitution mandates, the Thirty-Second Hawaii State Legislature will open its 2023 Regular Session on the third Wednesday of January at 10:00 a.m. — this year that’s January 18, 2023. What to expect? There will be swearing in of members, a few speeches, perhaps some entertainment, and some legislative business conducted. You can watch the chamber proceedings on the House and Senate YouTube channels. Afterwards, some legislators may be hosting a ‘meet and greet’ at their offices, welcoming the public to the capitol.
