Resolution No. 296-12 : A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAI`I STATE
ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES INCLUDE IN ITS 2013 LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE A
PROPOSAL THAT REQUIRES NOTIFICATION TO CONSUMERS THAT A FOOD
PRODUCT OR A RAW AGRICULTURAL COMMODITY CONTAINS OR WAS

Pursuant to Section 2(g) of Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Council of the County of
Hawai`i, this written request is submitted with my approval that the above-referenced matter be
waived from the Committee on Governmental Relations to the full Council for immediate action.
In reviewing this matter, timely approval is crucial. It is therefore advantageous that approval is
granted and the matter be placed onto the next Council agenda for review. However, in the event
this request is denied, for whatever reason, I understand the matter shall be referred to the
Committee on Governmental Relations for placement on its future agenda.
Sincerely,
