HRS 0143-0016 ANNOTATIONS

"County council" substituted for "board of supervisors", and "director of finance" substituted for "treasurer" to reflect present titles under county charter.

The plain language and legislative history of this section and §143-15 made very clear that legislature intended to authorize county reliance upon private humane societies to impound stray dogs within their borders; this can be accomplished only if §§76-16(17) and 76-77(10) are interpreted broadly. Att. Gen. Op. 97-6.
