Requesting a working group to reform or eliminate the Land Court in Hawaii.

The bill requests the Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court to establish a working group to reform or eliminate the Land Court. The group will include members from the Judiciary, Senate, Board of Land and Natural Resources, Hawaii State Bar Association, and a title company. The Judiciary will provide administrative support, and the group must submit a report with recommendations to the Legislature before the 2026 session. The Land Court, which handles land title registrations, is seen as archaic and causing delays.
