HB2089 revises the disposition deadline for certiorari review by the Hawaii Supreme Court to a fixed date.

HB2089 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to establish a fixed deadline for the Hawaii Supreme Court to decide whether to accept an application for writ of certiorari. The court must now determine whether to accept the application within sixty days after it is filed, regardless of when a response is filed. This change aims to improve judicial efficiency by allowing the court to focus on reviewing the merits of the application rather than monitoring response deadlines. The new law also allows for one fifteen-day extension to file a response to an application for a writ of certiorari.
