§23G-15  Supplements and replacement
volumes; extent of revision; prima facie the law.  In preparing the
supplements and replacement volumes, the revisor of statutes may:



(1)  Number and renumber chapters, sections, and parts
of sections;



(2)  Rearrange sections;



(3)  Change reference numbers to agree with renumbered
chapters, parts, or sections;



(4)  Substitute the proper section or chapter numbers
for the terms "the preceding section", "this act", and like
terms;



(5)  Strike out figures where they are merely a
repetition of written words;



(6)  Change capitalization for the purpose of
uniformity;



(7)  Correct manifest clerical or typographical
errors;



(8)  Change any male or female gender term to a term
which is neutral in gender when it is clear that the statute is not applicable
only to members of one sex and without altering the sense, meaning, or effect
of any act; and



(9)  Make such other changes in any act incorporated
in the supplements and replacement volumes as shall be necessary to conform the
style thereof as near as may be with that of the last revision of the laws of
Hawaii; provided that in making the revision, the revisor shall not alter the
sense, meaning, or effect of any act.



The matter set forth in the supplements and
replacement volumes shall be prima facie evidence of the law. [L Sp 1977 1st, c
8, pt of §1; am L 1984, c 90, §1]
