COUNTY OF HAWAII
ORDINANCE NO.
STATE OF HAWAII
BILL NO. 197
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 25, SECTION 2 -136, HAWAII
COUNTY CODE 1983 (2005 EDITION, AS AMENDED), PERTAINING TO
DEFINITIONS RELATING TO APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO NON PROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to change the definition of a
"nonprofit organization" in the definition section of the code relating to the appropriation of funds
to nonprofit organizations.
The council finds it is too restrictive to specify a non profit must be a 501 (c) 3
organization. This specification inhibits the ability to provide contingency relief funds to
neighborhood watch and community associations that may have tax exempt status, but are not 501
(c) 3 organizations.
SECTION 2. Chapter 2, article 25, section 2 -136, Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005
Edition, as amended), is amended by amending the definition of "nonprofit organization" to read
as follows:
" (5) `Nonprofit organization' means an organization organized for other
than profit- making purposes
and which has a current [501(e)3I tax - exemption from the Internal
Revenue Code."
SECTION 3. Material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken. New material is
underscored. In printing this ordinance, the brackets, bracketed material, and underscoring need
not be included.
SECTION 4. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or
circumstance, is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the
ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end, the
provisions of this ordinance are declared to be severable.
SECTION 5. This ordinance shall take effect upon its approval.
