HRS §88-151
Who cannot get a pension under this part
This section says who is not covered by the pension rules. It excludes certain police, fire, and band members who were already getting a state pension in 1927, and anyone in those jobs hired after 1927. Their family members also cannot get benefits.
The statute, as written — Application
No member of the police force, fire department, or band who on May 2, 1927, was receiving a pension from the State shall be a beneficiary under this part. This part shall not apply to any police officer, firefighter, or bandsman entering service after December 31, 1927, and no such person or the person's dependent widow, child or children, father or mother, sister or brother, or other relative or dependent shall receive any pension or other benefit under this part.
