SB179 amends Hawaii's construction defect laws to clarify the statute of repose, notice of claim requirements, and consequences of rejecting.

SB179 aims to address Hawaii's housing crisis by clarifying the statute of repose for construction defect claims, requiring detailed notices of claim, and outlining the consequences of rejecting settlement offers. The bill specifies that actions for damages must be filed within two years of the cause of action accruing, but no more than ten years after the completion of the improvement. It mandates that notices of claim include detailed descriptions of the alleged defects and any supporting evidence.
