Operative words
the court explained that the purpose of Hawaii's emergency-powers statute 'is to confer comprehensive powers to protect the public and save lives.'... 'the Governor's emergency proclamations are lawful. By continuing to follow these rules, all residents and visitors protect each other and promote public health during this pandemic crisis.'
Penalty
n/a (announcement); the rules referred to carry the HRS § 127A-29 misdemeanor
What it required
The State's chief legal officer announced that the circuit court had upheld the Governor's successive COVID-19 proclamations as lawful and stated that residents and visitors were to continue 'to follow these rules'; the release is the Attorney General's contemporaneous statement that the proclamations bound every person in the State. Character as recorded: agency_position_statement (release, FAQ, memorandum or statement; order_penalty layer).
Retrieval noteThe release describes Partal et al. The Intermediate Court of Appeals reached the same conclusion in For Our Rights v. Ige (Ex. DUT-HI-016).
