History
At the time of the 1973 Commission, Article Ill, Section 4 of the Constitution of the State of Hawaii prescribed the manner in which the members of the Commission were to be appointed. Pursuant ยท to that section, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the leader of the minority party members of the Senate, and the leader of the minority party members of the House of Representatives, all of the State Legislature, each appointed two persons to the Commission.
In 1973, the eight members of the Commission were:
Appointing Authority / Commission Members Appointed
President of the Senate / Edward DeMello, Leslie Takao
Speaker of the House / Ben F. Kaito, Alvin T. Shim
Minority party leader, Senate / C.F. Damon, Jr., Ambrose J. Rosehill
Minority party leader, House / V. Thomas Rice, Hannibal Tavares
All of these members were appointed on or before March I, 1973 as prescribed by the State Constitution. The eight members in turn selected Yukio Naito as the ninth member and chairman of the Commission. This selection was made on March 21, 1973, within the time period prescribed by the State Constitution.
Although not required by State Constitution or statute, the Commission heard testimony during public hearings, and received written testimony. Hearings were held in April and June, 1973.
The Terms of the State Constitution in 1973 compelled the Commission to complete its work within 120 days after appointment of all Commission members. The Commission issues its final report dated July 16, 1973 to Lieutenant Governor George R. Ariyoshi. Among other things, the Commission determined that the constitutional deadline was too onerous, and, in its report, submitted several recommendations to allow public hearings and other work of the Commission within a larger period of time. As amended, the current State Constitution allows 105 days for the Commission to complete its tasks.

Maintenance notes
This collection was at one time organized under the files of the Lieutenant Governor. In 2006, Archives staff determined this collection would be better accessible to patrons if prepared as a collection identified as a separate governmental agency. Thus, this finding aid has been prepared to merely supplement the series description and container list which have been reformatted but otherwise unmodified.
