HRS §239-25

When the tax law becomes invalid

This section says that if a court makes a final decision based on federal law that greatly weakens the main parts of sections 239-21 to 239-24, then those sections become invalid and stop having any legal effect on the day the court enters that decision.

The statute, as written — Nonseverability
