Statewide mask mandate could mean immediate fines for violators
HONOLULU (KHON2) — As the state moves toward passing a statewide mask mandate, there’s also a push to change the law so that violators are issued a fine on the spot rather than having to appear in court.
State Attorney General Clare Connors says that it would be easier to enforce the mask mandate if law enforcers can issue a fine to violators right away, similar to a parking violation. But that means the state legislature has to change the law, either through a special session or next year’s legislative session.
“We will propose something that the legislature, that the governor, the mayors can work through for better enforcement of things like mask wearing and other types of emergency measures,” said Connors.
She points out that the governor issued a statewide mask mandate in August, but the counties put in their own exemptions based on how they wanted to enforce it, which has led to the confusion. She says the mayors need to agree on one set of exemptions for the whole state for a new mask mandate and combine it with violators getting fined on the spot.
“The way that the fine system would handle the enforcement would make it clear, I think, in terms of what the scenarios are in each county that are acceptable,” said Connors.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell says that the corporation counsel for the four counties has been working with the state attorney general on a proposal that would work statewide.
“We just had the discussion yesterday, we talked again today to see if we can get agreement between all the mayors. Of course, there’s different challenges and each island is different, so I can’t commit we’ll all agree to the same requirements but I’m hopeful,” said Mayor Caldwell.
He says he likes the idea of violators getting fined around $500. However, it will be up to state lawmakers to determine that. He would also prefer the legislature to go into a special session rather than waiting until next year.
“If that can happen quickly, that would take care of this problem. We’re also looking at trying to do it at the county level but it’s gonna take a while because, you know, the hearing process,” said Mayor Caldwell.
Senate President Ron Kouchi says that if the governor proposes a bill and asks the legislature to go into special session, then they will consider it. A spokeswoman for the governor says that no decision has been made on asking for a special session.
Idiots.
Perhaps the people making this proposal could take a bunch of masks
shine them up real good
turn them sideways

Why go to Hawaii when you can go to Hainan?

2022 needs to be a punishment to them for stealing this election.
Hopefully there are REAL conservatives to run in 2022 to win the house and increase the senate
Aren’t you one of the mask Karens yourself?
If you have changed your tune, God bless you.
Then we must not let Biden steal this election. He will enforce masks and lockdowns forever.
Masks kill.
And the wife was saying she would like to go back again for two weeks. Awe Shucks!

Oh wait, that's how they get most of their money!
Only goes to show that if you are a Democrat you don't have to think about reality and consequences.

Same. I absolutely, positively refuse to wear any mask or face shield. Face mask itches like hell, gives me a nasty rash and I feel like I’m gonna pass out.
Watch for a huge trucker strike if Hiden/Ho forces their way into office.
Wants to mandate wearing of the face diaper on all US and interstate highways.
Agree! He loves masks...when I see someone in a mask other than professionals I want to slap ‘em in the mask but I restrain myself. If it was backed up by actual science ...that would be different
I was notified that I was qualified as election judge this year and I told them if they needed me to call. They did a week before the election and I mentioned I wasn’t hep on wearing a mask. I was told I didn’t need to. On election day late morning a couple of gals from the state’s Attorney General’s Office came by . . . I guess to check on us. . . .anyway I was the only judge not wearing a mask. Later in the afternoon we got a call stating there were complaints in the county about judges not wearing masks. Yeah, right. Anyway I donned the mask, and we were so busy with a 75% voter turnout . . .a record. . .that I couldn’t remove my mask much. After I got home I had a sore throat and a tremendous headache. That happened to me before during an outside visit at a nursing home in July where I was required to wear a mask. Went to bed and the next morning. . .no sore throat and no headache. Go to www.mercola.com and see what Dr. Mercola has on the subject. I personally think they are dangerous to one’s health. By the way the county went overwhelmingly for Trump and the Republicans which is not always the case. Keep praying for God’s Supernatural Intervention in our hour of need.

SHE IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH OXYGEN!!
Exactly
Just think of all the germs people are absorbing by touching their masks after touching who knows what. Germy, germy, germy. People are infecting themselves.
