Types of Research
Research of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) or Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) can be accomplished for $650.00 per enactment or administrative action and be available in approximately two weeks. If you need bill history research sooner than two weeks, the fees would be $750.00 per bill. Call us at (800) 666-1917 for a free fee quote.
If your code section of interest has a long and complicated annotated history, we can trace the language for a fee. We would include our trace report and our recommendation. For more information about tracing please visit our explanation on our FAQ page.
Types of Materials You Can Expect
For HRS, our research generally includes, but is not limited to each amended versions of the enacting bill, hearing notices, Senate and House committee reports, testimony, and background information, such as news releases and relevant competing and prior legislation. Typically, we work with the enacting state entity, such as the state legislature or relevant state agency.
Regulatory research is provided two ways:
1) tracing of the language to its original adoption; and
2) obtaining the regulatory file maintained by the agency on the rulemaking.
