AI Summary
This bill amends Hawaii's existing statutes to require a finding of substantial evidence that a vulnerable adult has incurred abuse or is in danger of abuse before issuing an order for immediate protection, if the vulnerable adult is living at home with a prognosis of six months or less to live. The bill maintains the existing "probable cause" standard for orders for immediate protection in other circumstances. The bill also makes corresponding changes to the provisions for continuing or modifying orders for immediate protection pending a full adjudicatory hearing.
