How to Testify

Testimony will be accepted in person at the physical meeting location or virtually via Zoom. We will let you into the remote meeting when we admit all board members. All you need to do is log in and testify when called upon during the meeting.

Written testimony can be emailed to the Board at adeline.nikaido@doh.hawaii.gov or mailed to,

121 Mahalani Street, Wailuku, HI 96793. We request submission of written testimony at least 24 hours prior to the start of the meeting to ensure that it can be distributed to board members. Written testimony submitted after this deadline will be retained as part of the record and distributed to board members as soon as practicable, but we cannot ensure board members will receive it in sufficient time to review it prior to any decision making.

How to Request for Accommodation

Persons requiring an auxiliary aid/service such as large print, sign language, interpreter or other accommodation due to a disability should contact adeline.nikaido@doh.hawaii.gov or

(808) 984-2150.  Requests made as early as possible have a greater likelihood of being fulfilled.

Other Information

The Board will try to address every item on the agenda, but no guarantee is intended. Priorities, such as requirements of the Sunshine Law may preclude addressing every item. The board reserves the   right to adjust the agenda sequence (and any scheduled times if indicated) as necessary to efficiently conduct the meeting.

This meeting will be recorded.
