How the County Code is updated and published

Code. (a) Semiannually, the County clerk shall prepare for publication a loose-leaf supplement to the Hawai‘i County Code. The supplement shall contain all ordinances of a general and permanent nature enacted subsequent to the last revision, republication, or supplement to the Hawai‘i County Code. (b) In preparing the supplement to the Hawai‘i County Code or the republication of a new edition, the County clerk shall review all ordinances to be included and may: (1) Number and renumber chapters, sections, and parts of sections; (2) Rearrange sections; (3) Change reference numbers to agree with renumbered chapters, divisions, or sections; (4) Substitute the proper section or chapter numbers for the terms “the preceding section,” “this ordinance,” and like terms; (5) Strike out figures where they are merely a repetition of written words; (6) Change capitalization for the purpose of uniformity; (7) Correct manifest clerical or typographical errors; (8) Correct the spelling of Hawaiian words and names; (9) Change any male or female gender term to a term which is neutral in gender when it is clear that the ordinance is not applicable only to members of one sex without altering the sense, meaning, or effect of any act; and (10) Make such other changes in any ordinance incorporated in the supplements as shall be necessary to conform the style thereof as near as may be with that of the last revision of the Hawai‘i County Code; provided that the changes shall not alter the sense, meaning or effect of any ordinance. The matter set forth in the supplements shall be prima facie evidence of the law. (c) The County clerk shall prepare and publish a June 30, 2005 edition of the Hawai‘i County Code. After republication, the County clerk and the director of information technology shall ensure that the Hawai‘i County Code is posted on the county’s website and is updated as soon as possible at the end of each quarter. Use of the Code on the county website, however, is at the sole risk of the user. The County makes no warranty or representation of any kind regarding its content and shall not be held responsible for any unintentional omission, addition, or error in or loss of service or data; or for any breakdown, interruption, or delay in service.
