TITLE 16. INTOXICATING LIQUOR
Note
Under Article VIII, Section 2, of the State Constitution, charter provisions relating to a county's executive, legislative and administrative structure and organization are superior to statutory provisions. And under HRS 50-10, charter provisions supersede all laws affecting the organization and government of the county which are in conflict therewith. Accordingly, the charters should be consulted to determine whether any of the provisions set out in this chapter have been superseded in whole or in part.
