Bill > SB1508

This bill is a comprehensive statutory revision bill that makes numerous technical corrections, clarifications, and updates to various sections of Hawaii's Revised Statutes across multiple areas of law. The bill includes amendments to sections dealing with administrative rulemaking, public infrastructure naming rights, vehicle fleet regulations, insurance provisions, dangerous dog laws, and statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases, among others. Key provisions include changing the time limit for naming rights on state buildings from fifteen to twenty-five years, updating definitions related to electric vehicles and alternative fuels, modifying rules for peer-to-peer car-sharing insurance, extending the statute of limitations for sexual abuse cases (specifically increasing the time from eight to thirty-two years after a victim's eighteenth birthday for abuse committed on or after July 1, 2024), and comprehensively revising the legal framework for classifying and managing dangerous dogs. The bill appears to be a routine "housekeeping" measure designed to correct errors, clarify language, remove obsolete provisions, and ensure consistency across different parts of Hawaii's legal code, with most changes being technical in nature rather than substantive policy shifts.
