HB 124 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

RELATING TO PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYORS.

HB 124 establishes a 10-year deadline after which land surveyors cannot be sued for civil claims related to their work. This means clients or property owners would no longer be able to file lawsuits against surveyors for errors or omissions after a decade has passed. The bill directly affects land surveyors (by limiting their legal liability window) and their clients (by setting a clear time limit for claims). It creates a fixed statute of repose, replacing any longer or undefined time periods under current law.
