History
The State Plan Policy Council existed from 1975 to 1991. It was concerned primarily with monitoring and coordinating the development of the Hawaii State Plan and its component functional plans per Chapter 226, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The records consist primarily of agendas and minutes of council meetings, supplemented by reports dealing with their activities.
Established: By Act 189, SLH 1975, as the Policy Council. It became generally known as the State Plan Policy Council, and used that title in its official publications and correspondence.
Organization: An independent executive agency with membership specified in statute. Initially, it was composed of the four county planning directors and the heads of eight state agencies. It was expanded by the Hawaii State Planning Act (Act 100, SLH 1978, which became Chapter 226, HRS) to include heads of five more state agencies and nine members of the public. A 14th state agency head was added by Act 336, SLH 1987. Organizational relations were not defined in statute. The Council was provided with "assistance and staff services" by the Department of Planning and Economic Development until 1987 and thereafter by the Office of State Planning.
