Terms Used In Hawaii Revised Statutes 229-3
- Concurrent resolution: A legislative measure, designated "S. Con. Res." and numbered consecutively upon introduction, generally employed to address the sentiments of both chambers, to deal with issues or matters affecting both houses, such as a concurrent budget resolution, or to create a temporary joint committee. Concurrent resolutions are not submitted to the President/Governor and thus do not have the force of law.
- sister-state or province relationship: means a relationship between the State of Hawaii and the state or province or similar governmental or political subdivision of a foreign nation. See Hawaii Revised Statutes 229-1
The Hawaii sister-state committee shall evaluate and develop recommendations for the initiation of all sister-state or province relationships and forward its recommendation to the legislature. The legislature, if it so chooses, shall implement the recommendation to initiate a sister-state or province relationship by either adopting a concurrent resolution or by enacting session law to that effect.
