(b) If a proposed salary for a university employee or prospective university employee that is equal to or greater than twice that of the salary of the governor is proposed when the legislature is not in session, the University of Hawaii shall submit proposed legislation detailing the proposed salary and any justification for the amount proposed to the legislature for its consideration no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session immediately succeeding the proposed salary.
(c) If a proposed salary for a university employee or prospective university employee that is equal to or greater than twice that of the salary of the governor is proposed when the legislature is in session, the University of Hawaii shall submit proposed legislation detailing the proposed salary and any justification for the amount proposed to the legislature for its consideration no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the next occurring regular session. No proposed salary shall take effect until the requirements of subsection (d) have been met.

If not disapproved, then the proposed salary shall take effect upon adjournment sine die of the regular session in which the legislature considered the disapproval of the proposed salary."
