The State of Hawaii, City & County of Honolulu, County of Maui, and the County of Kauai (Emergency Rules 2 to 5, as amended) have issued in-shelter emergency orders affecting the State and their respective Counties.

Additionally, click here for a side-by-side legal comparison of the emergency powers of the Governor and County Mayors.
The Governor’s latest Proclamation does not state that it preempts the other Mayors’ order. Rather, it states, “In the event of any inconsistency, conflict or ambiguity between this Third Supplementary Proclamation and any county emergency order, rule, directive or proclamation, the relevant documents shall be read to allow for maximum flexibility so that essential businesses and operations continue unimpeded.” It does not state what happens if there is a conflict that does not affect essential businesses and operations. Unless the matter affects only local conditions, we would assume that the Governor’s order controls.
