Hawaii SB124 proposes amendments to the state constitution to change reapportionment based on total resident population.
Hawaii SB124 proposes amendments to Article IV, sections 4 and 6, of the Hawaii State Constitution to change the method of reapportionment. Currently, Hawaii excludes non-permanent residents from the census total, unlike other states. The proposed changes would base reapportionment on the total resident population, as counted in the most recent decennial United States census. This would ensure that all individuals living in the state, regardless of residency status, are counted for representation purposes.
