History
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.
