Hawaii SB331 amends the Contractor Repair Act to enhance the process for addressing construction defect claims. The bill requires claimants to provide detailed evidence of the nature and cause of the defect and the necessary repairs when serving a notice of claim. Contractors must respond within 30 days by offering to settle without inspection or proposing an inspection. Claimants must accept or reject these offers within 30 to 45 days. If a claimant unreasonably rejects an inspection offer or a settlement offer, their recovery is limited to the value of the offer.
