SB1031

Hawaii SB1031 proposes a process for advisory referendums in general elections.

Hawaii SB1031 amends Chapter 11, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to allow the legislature to propose non-binding advisory referendum questions to the people during general elections. The legislature determines the subject matters appropriate for referendum, with each concurrent resolution limited to one question. The chief election officer must publish notices of these questions in newspapers and public libraries at least thirty days before the election. The questions must appear on the ballot under a single heading, with a statement clarifying that the referendums are advisory.
