HI HB1651

Removes the specific fine cap of $1,000 and imprisonment limit of five years from penalties for providing false information in voter registration affidavits during late registration or at absentee polling places.

Changes language from "may result in a class C felony" to "is a class C felony" for false information in signed affidavits submitted under sections 11-15 and 15-7.

Applies the standard class C felony penalties under Hawaii law instead of the previously capped penalties, making maximum fines consistent across all class C felony offenses.

Effective date is January 7, 2059, except section 1 takes effect January 1, 2018.

Does not affect rights, duties, penalties, or proceedings that began before the bill's effective date.
