The Legislature’s webmasters have set up a special page for information on the 2017 Special Session called for Monday, August 28th. It can be found here: https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/splsession.aspx?year=2017a.

This is where you’ll find links to the rail funding bill, “SB1 Relating to Transportation Financing” (link to bill) and the notice for Monday’s 11:30 a.m. WAM hearing (link to hearing notice). The hearing notice lists special email addresses for submitting your testimony.

A number of Governor’s Messages also appear on the Special Session page — it looks like a number of advise and consent nominations will be considered.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the Public Access Room (PAR) with any questions.
