Hawai'i Commission on Judicial Conduct

The Hawai'i Uniform Information Practices Act, established in 1975, is the law that governs access to public records. Records include all materials maintained in government offices and agencies including all records whether they be written, auditory, visual, electronic, or other physical form. Exemptions of this act are records that constitute an invasion of privacy, records of current judicial proceeding of which the agency receiving the request is a part, and confidential government records, inchoate and draft working papers of legislative committees including budget worksheets and unfiled committee reports.

Anyone can request public records and Hawai'ian law does not require a statement of purpose. There are no restrictions on how the public records are used. Allow up to ten days for a response to public records.
