Chair Keith-Agaran, Vice-Chair Rhoads, Members of the Committee: I am testifying for the League of Women Voters of Hawaii. Thank you for this opportunity to speak on behalf of our members throughout Hawaii. The League of Women Voters believes that an informed electorate is the basis of our democracy. HB2376 addresses some loopholes in HRS Chapter 11, which have become more obvious and important following the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. We strongly support the provisions of HB2376. Thank you for the opportunity to testify
