Hawaii SB2265 proposes amendments to the state constitution to enable initiative and referendum processes.

Hawaii SB2265 seeks to amend the Hawaii State Constitution to allow voters to propose statutory and constitutional amendments through the initiative process and to approve or reject legislation via referendum. The bill also seeks to prevent the governor from vetoing laws enacted by initiative or referendum. The initiative and referendum powers would not apply to tax, appropriation, bond issuance, or salary matters. The proposed constitutional changes aim to enhance public participation in state governance by providing a check on legislative power.
