REQUEST FOR OPINION

Requester seeks an opinion on two issues relating to public testimony under
the Sunshine Law, part I of chapter 92, Hawaii Revised Statutes (4HRS).
This advisory opinion is based solely upon the facts presented in your letter
dated February 6, 2006, unless otherwise indicated.
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
(1)   May public testimony for all agenda items be taken at the beginning of
a meeting, or must the public must be allowed to testify as HCDA considers
each agenda item?
(2)   Does a testifier have the right to question board members during his or
her testimony?
BRIEF ANSWER
(1) Public testimony on all agenda items may be taken at the beginning of a
meeting. HCDA, however, must allow a person to testify on as many of the
agenda items as the person wishes.
I HCDA is a board as that term is defined by section 92-2(1), HRS.
