Policy Portal is a network of organizations and their priority legislative bills. Since most of us lead busy, on-the-go lifestyles, the Policy Portal is designed to make the tracking of the bills easy, as well as the ability to participate in whether or not they pass.

We all realize that Hawaii faces some big challenges as we move into a future that takes into account rising oil prices and a drop in tourism. To make sure we meet our challenges with preparedness and creativity, it's going to require that our government leaders pass legislation that enables us to do just that.

Whether you are finding a window of time at night or on the weekend, taking a break at work, or jumping online while the kids are napping, the policy portal will allow you to find legislative bills that matter to you, and to take action on them.

For organizations, this tool could be thought of as "testimony-made-easy". You'll be able to set up a page that allows your online constituency the ability to submit personal testimony in a very efficient way.

We will also continue to add tools to this web program that will allow all of us to let the sun shine in on the legislative process and add our voices in effective and efficient ways.
