Establishes a fixed deadline for the Hawaii Supreme Court to decide on applications for writ of certiorari.

This bill amends the Hawaii Revised Statutes to set a fixed deadline for the Hawaii Supreme Court to decide on applications for writ of certiorari. Currently, the deadline varies based on when a response to the application is filed. The bill establishes a thirty-day deadline from the date an application is filed, regardless of when a response is filed. This change aims to improve judicial efficiency by allowing court staff to focus on reviewing applications based on a fixed deadline. The bill also allows for a single fifteen-day extension to file a response to an application.
