Court voids County Act in tax ruling from Hawaii Supreme Court
The Hawaii Supreme Court declares Act 31 of 1903, the County Act, wholly void due to its improper Territorial taxation provisions. The decision holds the act mixes county and Territorial matters, violating the Organic Act title requirement, and marks the act as defective overall. The ruling focuses on the seventh argued flaw, that the act contains two subjects and cannot stand as a single coherent law.
