HB1097

Hawaii HB1097 modifies public housing eviction procedures by allowing authorities to store evicted tenants' belongings and sell unclaimed items after.

Hawaii HB1097 amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to change how authorities handle evicted tenants' belongings. The bill allows housing authorities to remove and store the household goods and personal effects of evicted tenants and any others using the premises. If the items remain unclaimed for 14 days, the authority can sell or dispose of them. This change applies to both public housing evictions and evictions under specific statutes. The bill takes effect upon approval.
