UPDATE: SB875<\/a> & HB15<\/a> <\/strong>are speeding through at the State Capitol. Caveat: There may be more clone bills of this same agenda. I can’t keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a zoo at the State Capitol. Bills are flying off the tables. I don’t see how these 3,123 bills can be carefully vetted and thoroughly deliberated in such a short time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are at least five (5) clone bills allowing Hawaii counties to have non-judicial <\/strong>Power of Sale of private properties, based on county civil fines<\/a>, WITHOUT<\/strong> going to court. This means no checks and balances<\/a> in our Democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These proposed actions violate many constitutional liberties<\/a>. Due Process<\/strong>, that includes having your day in court, is fundamental to basic Civil Rights. Even prisoners on death-row have more judicial Due Process than these bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if we emotionally hate some egregious property owners, we cannot tear down the Cathedral of civil rights to fry a few bad eggs. There are other enforcement options for the counties already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of the legislators I’ve talked with knew about these far-reaching proposed Power of Sale bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are the CLONE BILLS that give all Hawaii counties non<\/strong>-judicial power of sale. Honolulu County<\/a> reiterates that it already has “Judicial Foreclosure” and “Eminent Domain” powers but these processes take too long:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SB875<\/a> Introduced by Senators Stanley Chang<\/a>, Donovan Dela Cruz<\/a> & Sharon Moriwaki<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HB15<\/a> Introduced by Representative David Tarnas<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HB106<\/a> Introduced by HOUSE SPEAKER SCOTT SAIKI<\/a> (Introduced by request of another party – Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SB216<\/a> SENATE PRESIDENT RONALD KOUCHI<\/a> (Introduced by request of another party – Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
