RELATING TO LAND COURT.
SB 949 establishes a working group to study whether Hawaii's land court should be reformed or eliminated. The group will examine the court's structure and operations, then make recommendations to the legislature. This bill does not change current law but initiates a formal review process for the land court system. The working group's findings will inform future legislative decisions about the court's future.
