Hawai’i Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting Minutes – April 21, 2014 D. Yoshina: So how is it possible for us get that thing back in? L. Ashida: You need an actual case of controversy because that’s exactly what the OHA keeps talking about. Land Court case of controversy. So you got to pick and chose – make sure you got something that the court’s gonna grant \[unclear\] and that’s the only way you’re gonna get guidance. D. Yoshina: \[Unclear\] B. Command: And just for clarification – Footnote is essentially there to tell you exactly what they’re saying. It was there, now it’s not there anymore that there’s some information saying…why.. L. Ashida: It’s saying it’s an issue – but then they are not going to decide it. I mean judges do that all the time – \[unclear\] an infirmity with respect to the Charter regarding our residency requirements \[unclear\] saying it’s unconstitutional but I’m saying it’s a problem. D. Yoshina: It’s a question, right? L. Ashida: You know what I’m talking about, right? D. Yoshina: Yeah, yeah. L. Ashida: It happens. D. Yoshina: Then how do we go about it? L. Ashida: I don’t know, man, it’s something very \[unclear\]. M.Bartell: So I mean I’m – so help a lay person here Lincoln. I mean it was in the constitution specifically mentioning game animals. Now it’s not in the constitution. So it went away in some way, shape or form. Yet, there’s statutes that require DLNR to manage game animals, right, I mean I don’t know if those two are related or if they’re not related. I mean, if it’s in the constitution we can push the state to manage ‘em. If it’s not in the constitution it’s a little tougher, maybe. Maybe not. I don’t know. L. Ashida: I don’t know. M.Bartell: You don’t know. So how do we find out? L. Ashida: I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m not going to make it up. I don’t know. M.Bartell: I mean one could – so Lincoln, let me ask you this, right. So I don’t, Tony, was it 183D or 182D or whatever it is. 7
