Hawaii SB1397 modifies the process for filling vacancies in the state senate and house of representatives. For senate vacancies, the governor must appoint someone from a list of three nominees submitted by the same political party as the prior incumbent, provided the appointee has been a party member for at least six months and resides in the same district. If the prior incumbent was unaffiliated, the appointee must also be unaffiliated. For house vacancies, similar rules apply.
