HB391

Hawaii HB391 amends the process for authorizing the interception of wire, oral, or electronic communications.

Hawaii HB391 revises the application process for intercepting wire, oral, or electronic communications. It mandates that applications for such interceptions be made in writing to a designated judge, including specific details about the offense, the communications to be intercepted, and the necessity for the interception. The bill also expands the definition of "designated judge" to include any circuit or district court judge if a circuit court judge has not been designated.
