Hawaii Section - Legislative Affairs 2008

The Local Legislative Affairs Committee of the Hawaii Section participates with the Coalition of Hawaii Engineering and Architectural Professionals (CHEAP) to promote legislation at the state and county level for the engineering profession.  The coalition is made up of representatives from ACECH, AIA, ASCE, HSPE, SEAOH, and HWEA.

The 2008 Regular Session of the Hawaii State Legislature has completed work on bills and the Governor has taken final action before they become Acts.  There were no significant bills relating to engineering passed during this session.

Click on the following for a complete list of Acts of the 2008 Session of the State Legislature.


2009 LEGISLATIVE SESSION GOALS
The Local Legislative Affairs Committee of the Hawaii Section will continue to work with the Coalition of Hawaii Engineering and Architectural Professionals and is planning for the 2009 Session.  The goals of the Coalition can be viewed in MS/Word format (31 kb).  All members are encouraged to provide input to the Coalition and are invited to attend the meetings.  For meeting schedules, contact Owen Miyamoto at 832-3726 at work, 988-6029 at home, or by email at owen@hcc.hawaii.edu.

How to reach your legislator
Views by professional engineers on technical issues are sought by legislators. A meeting in person is the most effective way to convey your thoughts. Otherwise, call, mail, fax, or email your message to his or her office. Information on how to reach your legislator is found in the web site at www.capitol.hawaii.gov

Participating in federal legislation
Legislation at the Federal level is monitored by ASCE, which has established the Key Contacts program. Members are encouraged to sign up as a contact to receive information on congressional activity and regulatory proposals. With the suggested response provided by ASCE, members are emailed information on how to provide input to their Congressional member or agency head. Details of the Key Contact program and how to become involved are found at http://www.asce.org/pressroom/news/keycont.cfm
