SB1316 amends Hawaii law to modify procedures for collecting court-ordered payments, including fees, fines, and restitution, and outlines.

SB1316 revises Hawaii statutes to enhance the enforcement of court-ordered payments. It mandates that courts require defendants to show cause for defaulting on payments, with potential for summons or arrest warrants if they fail to appear. The bill specifies that fees, fines, and restitution can be collected similarly to civil judgments. Corporations and associations are required to pay from their assets, with potential contumacious behavior for non-compliance. The bill also allows courts to adjust payment terms or revoke orders if defendants fail to pay.
