Aloha,    Mar 29, 2022

New procedures have been put in place to access the Capitol building:

• Security guards are located at both entry points (see below) to perform an access screening which includes providing photo identification.
• Visitors will no longer be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test result.
• Mask wearing is requested in House chambers and rooms; mask wearing is required in Senate chambers and rooms, and in the Public Access Room (PAR).

Remaining unchanged:

• Visitors are able to enter the Capitol building at two locations: the street-level "Core 1" elevator (located on the Ewa-side of the rotunda, closest to S. Beretania Street) and the basement entrance (accessible via the stairwell adjacent to Washington Place). Visitors may access these entries from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
• Visitors will be issued a daily sticker which must be worn/remain visible while in the Capitol building.

It appears these procedures will continue through session. We’ll let you know if anything changes!
