Amends Hawaii law to modify the requirements for applications to intercept wire, oral, or electronic communications.

The bill amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to change the requirements for applications to intercept wire, oral, or electronic communications. It removes the need for a written memorandum recommending approval or disapproval by the attorney general. The application must still be made in writing upon oath or affirmation to a designated judge and include specific details such as the identity of the requesting officer, the offense details, the type and location of communications to be intercepted, and the necessity for the interception.
