Advertiser Staff

The Hawai'i Law Enforcement Coalition today announced its legislative package.

Included are measures designed to protect the public, fight illegal drugs, deter and punish corruption, reform laws regarding sentencing and testimony.

Also, a domestic violence fatality review team would be established. And, a final measure would insure that blank votes and "over" votes would not be counted in determining whether a constitutional amendment is ratified.

The legislative package deal was announced at the department of the attorney general this morning.
