SB1238

Proposing to amend the Hawaii Constitution to make incumbent legislators ineligible for one term if the Native Hawaiian population decreases by 5% or.

This bill proposes to amend the Constitution of the State of Hawaii to make incumbent legislators ineligible for one term if a United States census shows a decrease of at least five percent in the state's Native Hawaiian population since the prior census. The amendment would apply to all state legislators in office at the time of the release of the latter census. The proposed change would be subject to a vote on the ballot.
