The Hawaiʻi State Legislature is a bicameral body responsible for enacting laws and overseeing the state government. It consists of two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate, each with elected members serving fixed terms. The legislature convenes annually to discuss and pass legislation on various issues affecting the state, including education, health, and environmental policies. Committees within both chambers play a crucial role in reviewing proposed bills and conducting hearings. The legislative process includes opportunities for public input, ensuring that the voices of Hawaiʻi's residents are considered in decision-making.
