SB266 modifies the Hawaii Revised Statutes to adjust the number of district judges in each of the state's judicial circuits. The First Judicial Circuit will have fifteen judges, the Second and Third Judicial Circuits will each have three judges, and the Fifth Judicial Circuit will have two judges. The bill also allows for the chief justice to designate an administrative judge in each circuit and to authorize a judge to handle landlord-tenant and small claims matters in the First Circuit if needed.
