The Uniform Information Practices Act
(Modified), chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes ("UIPA"),
is Hawaii's public records law. The Office of Information Practices
("OIP") was created by the Legislature in 1988 to administer
the UIPA.
In 1998, the Legislature gave OIP the
additional responsibility of administering Hawaii's open meetings
law, Part I of chapter 92, Hawaii Revised Statutes ("Sunshine
Law").
On February 26, 1999, following public
hearings, OIP's administrative rules, "Agency Procedures and
Fees for Processing Government Records Requests," took effect.
These rules are set forth at Chapter 71 of Title
2 of the Hawaii Administrative Rules.
OIP issued 322 formal opinion letters
from 1989 through the end of 2007.
