Capitol
The Hawaii State Legislature moved to the Hawaii State Capitol in downtown Honolulu on March 15, 1969. The legislature moved temporarily to adjacent downtown facilities when the Capitol was closed for four years in the 1990s for asbestos removal. The legislature moved back to the Capitol for the 1996 session. Prior to Governor John A. Burns's decision to build the new Capitol building, the Hawaii State Legislature met in ʻIolani Palace.
