RE: HSAC Resolution Request from Peter Carlisle
Enclosed is a legislative proposal, originating from City Prosecutor Peter Carlisle, for
inclusion in the 2002 HSAC packet. This proposal would amend the Hawaii Constitution
to allow direct filing of felony charges and make implementing amendments to the
Hawaii Revised Statues.
As per our discussion at the November 9, 2001 HSAC Executive Committee Meeting I
wanted to bring this item to your attention. Resolution 01-326 was discussed at the City
& County of Honolulu Policy Committee on November 14, 2001, and was passed out of
the committee for full Council approval.
Please feel free to call me if there are any questions or if you need any additional
information.
Aloha!
