HI HB951

Authorize the Director of Public Safety to maintain a mandatory list of independent process servers available to the public.

Update Hawaii Revised Statutes to clarify that law enforcement officers and independent civil process servers may serve certain types of legal process.

Address difficulties in identifying process servers and obtaining their services, which has resulted in increased reliance on understaffed Deputy Sheriffs and delays in serving process.

Change the provision for maintaining the list of independent process servers from discretionary to mandatory authority for the Director of Public Safety.
