Act 225, on 07/10/2026 (Gov. Msg. No. 1327).
Jul 10, 2026
Summary
The bill changes Hawaii law so that prosecutors have up to nine years from the date a bribery crime occurs to bring charges, instead of the previous three‑year limit for class B felonies. It applies to anyone who offers, gives, solicits, or accepts a pecuniary benefit to influence a public servant’s official actions. The change aims to prevent cases from slipping away when federal investigations delay state prosecution.
