47	47	Section 1. The legislature finds that the department of Hawaiian home lands conducts beneficiary consultation, defined as the department of Hawaiian home lands' direct outreach to lessees, applicants, and native Hawaiians as defined by the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as amended, as part of the department of Hawaiian home lands or Hawaiian homes commission's decision-making process. Beneficiary consultation is conducted prior to initiating the rulemaking process pursuant to chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes. The rulemaking process lengthens the time required to implement administrative rules. The purpose of this Act is to allow the department of Hawaiian home lands to issue interim rules, which shall be exempt from the public notice, public hearing, and gubernatorial approval requirements of chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, after beneficiary consultation is conducted as provided for in the department of Hawaiian home lands' administrative rules and upon approval by the Hawaiian homes commission. The interim rules shall be effective for not more than eighteen months to allow for interim rules to take effect while the department of Hawaiian home lands undertakes the rulemaking process pursuant to chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to adopt permanent rules. SECTION 2. Chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new section to be appropriately designated and to read as follows: "§91- Interim rulemaking authority for the department of Hawaiian home lands. (a) Notwithstanding any other law in this chapter to the contrary, the department of Hawaiian home lands may issue interim rules after beneficiary consultation is conducted. The rules shall become effective upon the approval of the Hawaiian homes commission. (b) The interim rules shall be exempt from the public notice, public hearing, and gubernatorial approval requirements of this chapter. (c) The interim rules shall be effective for no more than eighteen months from the date the interim rules take effect. (d) For the purposes of this section, "beneficiary consultation" means the department of Hawaiian home lands' direct outreach to lessees, applicants, and native Hawaiians as defined by the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920, as amended, as part of the department of Hawaiian home lands or Hawaiian homes commission's decision-making process." SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored. SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect upon its approval. INTRODUCED BY: _____________________________ BY REQUEST
