As of March 9, the First Crossover deadline at the Legislature, many of the proposals from the House Commission to Improve Standards of Conduct are advancing at the Capitol.

Bill numbers and companion measures, titles and descriptions, the latest status of the bills and the primary committee chair referrals and contacts are provided below.

This page is broken into three sections: the measures that came from the so-called Foley commission, the blue-ribbon panel of experts led by retired Judge Dan Foley; dozens of other bills coming from lawmakers and agencies such as the Hawaii State Ethics Commission and the Campaign Spending Commission; and the bills that are in all likelihood dead — “deferred” — for the 2023 session that concludes May 4.

Use the “Details” tab that opens a new page with additional information, including key lawmakers to contact about the bill, and links to the Legislature’s website. Updates to all bills are made on a regular basis.

If you see any bill that you think should be included in this list — or anything else we can be shining a light on — please email us at sunshine@civilbeat.org.
