Another name for the Hawaii Regulatory Licensing Reform Act, the law which provides for the repeal of regulatory boards, commissions, and programs on certain dates and for their evaluation by the Legislative Auditor prior to the repeal date.
A law or provision that limits how long a law, regulation, government agency or board, or government program will remain in effect unless it is formally re-enacted or renewed.
A law that automatically terminates the agency or program it establishes unless it is expressly renewed. For example, a state law establishing and funding a new drug rehabilitation program within state prisons may provide that the program will shut down in two years unless it is reviewed and approved by the state legislature.
