Proposed Constitutional Amendments
QUESTION: “Shall the state constitution be amended to repeal the legislature’s authority to reserve marriage to opposite-sex couples?”
QUESTION: “Shall the Constitution of the State of Hawaii be amended to make the appointment and confirmation process for district court judges the same as the appointment and confirmation process for supreme court justices and intermediate court of appeals and circuit court judges, which would require:
- The Judicial Selection Commission to present the Chief Justice with a list of not less than four and not more than six nominees for a vacancy;
- A district court appointee to be automatically considered appointed if the Senate fails to reject the appointment within thirty days of receiving the appointment notice;
- The Chief Justice to make another appointment from the list of district court nominees within 10 days if the Senate rejects an appointment; and
- The appointment and consent procedure to be followed until a valid
appointment is made, or failing this, the Judicial Selection Commission to make the appointment from the list of nominees, without Senate consent?”
