Attorney General Opinions

This and preceding section may be deleted without consent of Congress. Att. Gen. Op. 68-18.

Prevents transfer to counties of title to highways on Hawaiian home lands. Att. Gen. Op. 86-15.

Case Notes

In setting aside Hawaiian home lands, federal government undertook trust obligation benefitting aboriginal people. State assumed fiduciary obligation upon being admitted as a state. Commission's considerations gave undue weight to interests of State, county, and citizens or taxpayers generally, thus breaching fiduciary duty. 64 H. 327, 640 P.2d 1161.
