Watch the Hawaii State Legislature Live: Video Feed, Session Dates and How to Follow
This player shows the Hawaii House of Representatives YouTube channel when it is live. When lawmakers are not meeting, it may say the video is unavailable, so use the official link below.
What Is This Feed?
The Hawaii State Legislature meets at the open-air State Capitol in Honolulu, with 51 representatives and 25 senators. Its website has a Live and On-Demand video section, and the House and Senate each keep their own YouTube channels.
When Can I Watch?
The 2026 session ran from January 21 to May 8. Sessions usually open on the third Wednesday of January and last 60 legislative days. Dates change each year, so confirm the current calendar on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
Hawaii's voters live on separate islands, and a trip to Honolulu can mean a flight. Streaming hearings lets a neighbor on Kauai or Hawaii Island follow the same debate as someone downtown, which matters in a state shaped by water, land and tourism.
