Depending on the type of hearing, it could be 24 or 48 hours notice at minimum.  I've never seen a 6 day advance, but I've never read all the rules, so that could be possible.

They also can hold emergency sessions, but it's super rare.

I'll write a recap in another post.

§92-7 Notice.
(a) The board shall give written public notice of any regular, special, emergency, or rescheduled meeting, or any executive meeting when anticipated in advance. The notice shall include an agenda that lists all of the items to be considered at the forthcoming meeting; the date, time, and place of the meeting; the board’s electronic and postal contact information for submission of testimony before the meeting; instructions on how to request an auxiliary aid or service or an accommodation due to a disability, including a response deadline, if one is provided, that is reasonable; and in the case of an executive meeting the purpose shall be stated. If an item to be considered is the proposed adoption, amendment, or repeal of administrative rules, an agenda meets the requirements for public notice pursuant to this section if it contains a statement on the topic of the proposed rules or a general description of the subjects involved, as described in section 91-3(a)(1)(A), and a statement of when and where the proposed rules may be viewed in person and on the Internet as provided in section 91-2.6. The means specified by this section shall be the only means required for giving notice under this part notwithstanding any law to the contrary.

(b) No less than six calendar days before the meeting, the board shall post the notice on an electronic calendar on a website maintained by the State or the appropriate county and post a notice in the board’s office for public inspection. The notice shall also be posted at the site of the meeting whenever feasible. The board shall file a copy of the notice with the office of the lieutenant governor or the appropriate county clerk’s office and retain a copy of proof of filing the notice, and the office of the lieutenant governor or the appropriate clerk’s office shall ensure access to paper or electronic copies of all meeting notices; provided that a failure to do so by the board, the office of the lieutenant governor, or the appropriate county clerk’s office shall not require cancellation of the meeting. The copy of the notice to be provided to the office of the lieutenant governor or the appropriate county clerk’s office may be provided via electronic mail to an electronic mail address designated by the office of the lieutenant governor or the appropriate county clerk’s office, as applicable.

(c) If the written public notice is electronically posted on an electronic calendar less than six calendar days before the meeting, the meeting shall be canceled as a matter of law and shall not be held. The chairperson or the director shall ensure that a notice canceling the meeting is posted at the place of the meeting. If there is a dispute as to whether a notice was timely posted on an electronic calendar maintained by the State or appropriate county, a printout of the electronic time-stamped agenda shall be conclusive evidence of the electronic posting date. The board shall provide a copy of the time-stamped record upon request.

(d) No board shall change the agenda less than six calendar days prior to the meeting, by adding items thereto without a two-thirds recorded vote of all members to which the board is entitled; provided that no item shall be added to the agenda if it is of reasonably major importance and action thereon by the board will affect a significant number of persons. Items of reasonably major importance not decided at a scheduled meeting shall be considered only at a meeting continued to a reasonable day and time.

Per the Civic Beat article referenced above, "Technically, SB 401 remains alive for the 2026 session or if a special session is held later this year, as seems likely." Could we face this situation again this year if a special session is held?

§92-10 Legislative branch; applicability. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this chapter to the contrary, open meeting requirements, and provisions regarding enforcement, penalties and sanctions, as they are to relate to the state legislature or to any of its members shall be such as shall be from time to time prescribed by the respective rules and procedures of the senate and the house of representatives, which rules and procedures shall take precedence over this part. Similarly, provisions relating to notice, agenda and minutes of meetings, and such other requirements as may be necessary, shall also be governed by the respective rules and procedures of the senate and the house of representatives. [L 1975, c 166, pt of §11]

Here's the Hawaii Sunshine Law that specifies scheduling hearings and giving the public 6 days notice;

Chapter 92: Public Agency Meetings and Recordshttps://oip.hawaii.gov/laws-rules-opinions/sunshine-law/#927

I read further, and of course the Legislature has the privilege of making their own rules ...
Here are the Senate's rules:
https://data.capitol.hawaii.gov/docs/SenateRules.pdf

and here are the House's rules:
https://data.capitol.hawaii.gov/docs/HouseRules.pdf

Senate rules state 72 hours notice for public meetings, and house rules state 48 hours before the scheduled meeting time.

I guess Sunshine Laws don't apply to the people to which they ought to apply.

Brenton Awa
Lynn DeCoite
Samantha DeCorte
Mike Gabbard
Donna Mercado Kim
Ronald D. Kouchi
Angus L.K. McKelvey
Michelle N. Kidani
Herbert M. “Tim” Richards III
Henry J.C. Aquino
Glenn Wakai
Joy A. San Buenaventura
Kurt Fevella

Surprised to see Wakai on this list!

I was curious so broke it down by island. Not as significant a divide as I assumed.

No:
Awa - Oahu
DeCorte - Oahu
Gabbard - Oahu
Kim - Oahu
Kidani - Oahu
Aquino - Oahu
Wakai - Oahu
Fevella - Oahu
Richards - Big Island
Buenaventura - Big Island
Kouchi - Kauai
McKelvey - Maui
DeCoite - Maui

Yes:
Chang - Oahu
Dela Cruz - Oahu
Elefante - Oahu
Fukunaga - Oahu
Ihara - Oahu
Keohokalole - Oahu
Lee - Oahu
Moriwaki - Oahu
Rhoads - Oahu
Inouye - Big Island
Kanuha - Big Island
Hashimoto - Maui

I would say it's a significant divide as all of Kauai and Maui voted to "kill the bill". Then big island is 50/50.  If any of Kauai or Maui voted no, then the bill would have passed.

Great thanks for that!

Been following this/submitting testimony for over 20 years, but not in person.

I joined and donated to HIFICO a long time ago, but I didn’t get any feedback (such that I thought maybe I dreamed it or something).

Tried again a few months ago, but the site has no membership page (oops 404!).  Tried contacting but no response.

None of this is in any way a criticism - just the opposite: I’m frustrated I can’t figure out a way to get involved!  I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way.

Jon mentioned to me that in addition to running his business, he’s got four kids.  What he’s doing is superhuman from my point of view.

On the other hand, I’m retired from the downtown black-crab bucket - I have the flexibility to do some damage.

You seem to be the person to know - who do I contact?  Website is a dead end - contact Jon at his business? (don’t like this idea - he’s a busy man), someone else associated with HIFICO I can talk to about volunteering?

Thanks again!

The constitutional convention option is coming up in 2028, where we will have the opportunity to introduce citizens initiatives.
The downside of that is the anti's could also repeal the second amendment from our state constitution, but things are so bad
as Hawaii descends into another violent liberal hellhole that support for gun rights will only grow by then.

It's important to stay active even while the Legislature is out of session, and there are plenty of ways that they have failed us.
With RealID, government crypto, and climate lockdowns they are trying to turn our state into an Australia-style dictatorship.
The attack on gun rights are just part of a larger picture that folks need to be made aware of, and if we don't do it no one will.

As an aside, I believe that if the Kingdom of Hawaii had the equivalent of the 2A, the Marines might not have taken their walk down King Street, and the history for Hawaiians would have been far less hurtful.  I believe Hawaiian history is a powerful argument for the 2A, and why the people here are especially entitled to its protections.  Just an old bastard’s two cents.
