CHARTER AMENDMENT NO. CA -21
BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII:
Section 1. Article XI, Section 11-5, of the Hawai`i County Charter (2018
Edition), is amended by amending subsection (c) to read as follows:
"(c) For purposes of certification, any petition shall be found insufficient that:
(1) Is signed by registered voters of the county equal in number to less than
fifteen percent of the number of persons who voted for the office of Mayor
in the last Mayoral election.
(2) Proposes, or requests [meal] repeal of, an ordinance not subject to the
powers of initiative or referendum."
Section 2. Charter material to be repealed is bracketed and stricken through.
New charter material is underscored. When revising, compiling, or printing these charter
provisions for inclusion in the Charter of the County of Hawai`i (2020), the revisor need
not include the brackets, bracketed and stricken material, or underscoring.
Section 3. The revisor of the charter shall renumber charter article, chapter,
and section numbers and any cross references thereto pursuant to amendments approved
by the electorate.
Section 4. Severability. 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 which 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 amendment shall take effect upon approval by the electorate.
