HRS §88-213
How the retirement system is split for Social Security
This section says the employees' retirement system is treated as two separate systems for Social Security purposes: one for members who chose Social Security coverage and one for those who did not. A political subdivision can also split its retirement system the same way if it asks.

The statute, as written — Division of retirement systems
The employees' retirement system (or such components thereof as may be established by the governor or the governor's agent pursuant to section 218(d)(6) of the Social Security Act) shall, for the purpose of this chapter, be deemed to constitute two retirement systems as provided in, and in accordance with, section 218(d)(6) one of which is composed of the members of the system who have expressed a desire to be covered under the Social Security Act and the other of which is composed of the members of the system who have not expressed a desire for such coverage. Upon request of the governing body of any political subdivision operating a retirement system, the membership of its retirement system may likewise be divided.
