Now I know that this statute was revised in 1982. But to what extent it was actually revised I am still not sure. It could have well been minor revisions to an already existing law. I have been trying to find what the law books were saying back in '59 through '61, but it has been relatively difficult to go back that far for specific information.
Again, the logistics involved sort of mandate that kind of flexibility because Hawaii is a tiny state that is isolated out there in the Pacific. And travel in and out state becomes a necessity for just about everyone at some point or another.
