Hawaii SB300 establishes procedures for filling vacancies in the state senate and house of representatives.
Hawaii SB300 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to set forth procedures for filling vacancies in the state senate and house of representatives. If the governor fails to make an appointment within the deadline, the president of the senate or the speaker of the house of representatives will make the appointment. The appointee must be a resident of the same district as the prior incumbent and, if applicable, a member of the same political party. The bill also outlines the process for temporary appointments and elections to fill vacancies.
