MINOR

This bill modifies the eviction process for public housing tenants in Hawaii by changing how long the Hawaii Public Housing Authority must store unclaimed personal belongings after an eviction. The primary change reduces the storage period from thirty days to fourteen days, allowing the authority to dispose of unclaimed property sooner. The effective date was also changed from July 1, 2000 to July 1, 2050, which appears to be a clerical error rather than a substantive policy change.

Scope change

The bill applies to the same population - tenants of public housing in Hawaii - but modifies the timeline for property disposition after eviction.

TIMELINE

Reduced the required storage period for unclaimed tenant belongings from thirty days to fourteen days after eviction

Changed the effective date from July 1, 2000 to July 1, 2050 (likely a clerical error)
