HB2620 proposes an amendment to the Hawaii Constitution to establish a legislative referendum process.

HB2620 seeks to amend the Hawaii Constitution to introduce a legislative referendum process, allowing voters to approve or reject laws enacted by the legislature. This process would be initiated by a two-thirds vote in each legislative house or a majority vote in two successive sessions. The referendum would occur before the law takes effect and could be held at a general or special election. If a majority of voters approve the law, it would take effect; if rejected, it would be void. The legislature would also need to enact laws to facilitate this process.
