The official Hirono press-release index lists: “Hirono, Johnson Introduce Legislation to Increase Judiciary Transparency,” stating that Senator Hirono and Congressman Hank Johnson introduced the Open Meetings Act to require Judicial Conference meetings to be more open and accessible to the public.

During the June 7-July 6, 2026 lookback window, Hirono’s official Senate office reported that she introduced the Open Meetings Act with Rep. Hank Johnson. That directly satisfies the commitment to introduce and support the measure.
