AI Summary
This bill amends existing Hawaii law to stipulate that the Chief Election Officer, after successfully completing the standard state probationary period, can only be terminated from their position for specific, justifiable reasons, often referred to as "for cause." This change aims to provide greater job security for the Chief Election Officer once they have demonstrated their competence during their initial period of employment.
