being filled out by the persons who signed it. So, the suggestion is to delete the word <br />"completed" from subsection (b)(2). <br />MS. JARMAN: Mr. Chair, could we ask Marian Wilkins from Kona to approach too, so <br />we give them the opportunity to comment since this was initially their bill. <br />MS. WILKENS: I'm not good at shuffling a lot of papers around, so bear with me. Can <br />we make a comment on the first ballot summary part that you just voted on; or is it too <br />late? <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: I think we have already voted on that. Right now we have before us <br />the concern that was addressed in Mr. Hookano's memo that was relating to the word <br />"completed" in subsection (b)(2). <br />MS. WILKENS: I just wanted to say that we did mean, "effect," not "affect." That was <br />deliberate. We'll go on to the next part. In the definitions, you will see that the petition <br />form is not the completed form. It is explained in the definitions. In 15 -2, under Ballot <br />Question, Ballot Summary, Ballot Title, and then Signed Petition; right above that is <br />Petition Form, at the bottom of 15 -2. That means without the voter's signature and then <br />the Signed Petition means with the signatures. Just to make sure that everybody knows <br />there are two different definitions. One is Petition Form and one is Signed Petition. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Then what is a Completed Petition Form? <br />MS. WILKENS: Then we could take out the word "form," but if it's completed, the form <br />is filled out with the required information that the committee -- -That would be their part; <br />that is before the petition is circulated. That is part of the preliminary work of what the <br />committee does. <br />MS. HECHT: This is Debbie Hecht. The Completed Petition Form means that it has <br />gone through the process, back and forth from the petitioner's committee to the clerk, <br />through corporation counsel, and then back to the committee. That is the "completed <br />petition form" that will be used to collect signatures. <br />MS. WILKENS: Yes, Debbie has explained it much better than I. It is before it goes out <br />for the general public to have their signatures added. <br />MS. HECHT: But it has gone through the process. <br />MS. WILKENS: It is deliberate the way we have it. You have to look at the definitions <br />to make sure what you are talking about here. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Ms. Jarman. <br />MS. JARMAN: So, Marian, what would be on the completed petition form that is not on <br />the petition form? <br />26 <br />
