Chung Chair, Committee on Finance Hawaii County Council 25 Aupuni Street Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Dear Councilman Chung: Re: Communication No. 172.01, Bill No. 51--Real Property Code Revisions This is in response to your letter of April 18, 1997 asking whether this office would approve as to form and legality a bill showing County Code amendments in Ramseyer format, with no blank space between the bracketed deletion and underlined addition. The answer is yes. While a space between Ramseyered deletions and additions seems to ease reading, we would not consider omission of the intervening space a defect of form or legality such that we would reject the bill. Your staff also asked whether the legislative history should be included in the bill. Since the legislative history is not part of the ordinance itself, and the usual practice is to leave it out, we recommend following the usual practice. Please call if you need further assistance.

There has been some discussion as to whether a space needs to be inserted after bracketed material (ie. calender]followine). Please provide us with a statement as to whether the draft would meet with your office's approval as to form and legality. A short opinion will be sufficient. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact my legislative assistant Liana Cox. Thank you. Sincerely, Aaron S.Y.Cl~ung Chair, Committee on Fiiianc ASYC/lkc Enc.
