During the 1989 Legislative
session, the Hawai`i State Legislature enacted into law Senate
Bill 832 (Act 331, Session Laws of Hawai`i 1989) to improve public
access to legislative information.
Originally staffed by community volunteers, the PAR was established as
part of a permanent public access program in 1994, offering a year-round
staff and services.
In 1996, the PAR was transferred to the Legislative Reference Bureau.
