Hawaiʻi State Commission on the Status of Women
The Governor's Commission on the Status of Women was established by gubernatorial executive order on May 15, 1964. The Fifth Legislature of the State of Hawaiʻi in 1970 passed Senate Bill No. 17 4 - a bill for an act establishing a state commission and county committees on the status of women. On July 2, 1970, Governor John A. Burns signed into law Act 190 creating the Hawaiʻi State Commission on the Status of Women (HSCSW) to be a statewide organization concerned with improving the lives of women in Hawaiʻi. This same act created County Committees on the Status of Women to look into county issues regarding women.
For administrative purposes, the state commission was attached to the Department of Budget and Finance. Act 302 passed by the Tenth State Legislature in 1980 transferred the commission to the Department of Social Services and Housing. In 1987 the department's name was changed to the Department of Human Services. Act 151 passed by the Eighteenth State Legislature in 1995 mandated that the lieutenant governor assume administrative responsibility for the commission.
Hawaiian Sovereignty Elections Council
The Hawaii State Legislature created this independent agency with membership specified in Act 359, 1993 SLH. Initially, as HSAC, it was composed of 20 members: 19 members appointed by the governor, with at least 12 of these 19 members appointed from nominations submitted by Hawaiian organizations, and one member serving in an ex officio capacity, representing “mainland” resident Hawaiians. HSAC, and later HSEC, were provided staff assistance through DAGS.
In response to concerns that the members were not elected by the native Hawaiian people, the members of HSAC submitted legislation in January, 1994 to have members selected by Hawaiian organizations for the newly-established HSEC. See H.B. 3630, 1st draft, 1994 SLH. At the Hawaiian Organization Conference on February 4, 1994, however, the overwhelming consensus of the 200 organizations represented was that selecting new members would be a waste of time and money, and that HSAC should continue providing leadership in this process. The legislation adopted as Act 200, 1994 SLH, therefore, changed the nature and name of the organization, but made no changes in the composition of its membership.
