HB124

Hawaii HB124 establishes a ten-year statute of repose for professional land surveyors, prohibiting civil actions after this period.

Hawaii HB124 amends Chapter 464 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes by adding a new section that prohibits civil actions against professional land surveyors if ten years have passed since the completion of a contract or final payment for their services. This statute of repose aims to protect land surveyors from prolonged liability, distinguishing their work from that of architects and engineers, whose services involve safeguarding life, health, or property.
