Description

This appeal concerns the interpretation of article XVII, section 3 of the Hawai'i. Constitution, which pertains to amending the constitution. The State of Hawai'i, through its attorney general, filed a complaint seeking (1) a declaratory judgment that certain proposed constitutional amendments put before the voters in 1994 had passed the legislature without proper notice to the governor, and (2) injunctions preventing certification of the election results on those amendments by Dwayne D. Yoshina, the chief election officer, and the clerks of the Senate and the House (collectively, "Defendants"). The circuit court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and held in the alternative that the proposed amendments had passed the legislature in conformity with the constitution. We reverse the court's jurisdictional holding, but otherwise affirm.
