Per the House Rules, Hawaii House of Representatives committee members, chairs, and vice-chairs are appointed by the speaker of the house. Members, chairs, and vice-chairs are provided for by resolution, with the requirement that the composition of the committee is proportional. The majority caucus designates the chair, vice-chair, and majority party members of the committee, while members of the minority caucus designate the minority members of the committee.[1] Committees are assigned at the start of each term.[2] A majority of appointed members make up a committee's quorum.[3] The speaker and vice speaker serve as ex officio members of each committee without the power to vote, except the Committee on Legislative Management where the vice speaker is a voting member.[4]
