HI HB1278

Amends Hawaii Revised Statutes sections 607-4 and 607-8 to increase various court service fees charged by sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, police officers, and other authorized serving officers.

Removes specific fee amounts for criminal summons service, civil process service, subpoenas, executions, writs of possession, and other court-related services, replacing them with blank dollar amounts to be determined.

Increases the minimum hourly rate for service from $50 per hour to an unspecified amount for cases where parties agree to hourly compensation instead of per-service fees.

Adjusts percentage-based fees for execution and collection services, though specific new rates are not specified in the bill text.

Takes effect on July 1, 2050.
