2024 Legislative Session Resources
The 2024 Hawaii Legislative Session will be here before we know it! To help you navigate the process, we have compiled the following information. We can also address your questions via our Contact form.
How to Submit Testimony
To submit testimony to the Hawaii Legislature, you'll need to have an account (you'll need to log in before you can submit testimony). To create an account, go to the Hawaii State Legislature Registration Page and click the 'Register' link in the upper right corner. You simply need to submit your name and email address to create an account.
